That is -- one (apparently many on this list) is Zuikodependant -- the
disease is Zuikodependance.

Actually, Craig, one may become Zuikodependent (note the absence of the
final "s"), develop Zuikodependence and experience Zuikodependency.
Becoming Zuikodependent is the development of habitual behavior patterns
related to acquiring, using and trading Zuiko and OM products. Zuiko-
dependence is the result of one's gradual adoption of these behavior patterns
into one's habitual life style. Zuikodependency is the technical term coined
by
health professionals to assist identification of people with "chronic
Zuiko/OM acquisition, possession, exchange" symptomatology.
As for selling children into slavery to support one's Zuikodependency, have
you noticed the increasing number of children's pictures on milk cartons
with the mysterious symbol (Z) after their names? Amazingly their dis-
appearance seem to coincide with certain e-mails to the O-List commenting
on recent acquisitions. Perhaps this is mere coincidence. It could be a case
of alien abductions in retaliation for acute "photo envy." ;-)
