So, who's the "enabler"??

There are two groups of "enablers" involved. One group is compromised of
spouses and friends who say that you are wasting your life and money in
pursuit of more Zuikos, accuse you of thinking more of your OM collection
than of them and/or complain that you are spending too much time enjoying
your possessions and not enough time with them. They make you feel so bad you
just "have to" buy something to make you feel better. The second group are
guys like Tom S. who are continually enticing Zuikodependent types to feed
their addictions by sharing latest acquisitions with the List and/or lusting
over "wish lists ." The friendly "suppliers" are fellow Zuiko-dependents who
are willing to share their Zuiko/OM stash to feed other Zuikoholic additions
(or hook first-time users), local camera shop employees and/or eBay sellers.
Sound familiar? If you recognize any of these people you have just identified
your own enablers and suppliers. ;-)
