I'm not the messiah, would you please listen! I'm not the 
messiah, do you understand? Honestly!

    Sorry. I'm not discounting your post at all japhy, but I couldn't resist this one. I guess the point is that folks WANT to be lead, and create their own idols. Seems like you're dealing with it healthily, though.

    Update: Please vote for other, more worthy posts in this thread.
