serious spouse disputes that may occasionally lead to generalized 
communication problems (unverified sources reported total loss of 
communication channels between Linux and Windows Users)

Doctors noted that rehabilitation centers will be available in all major 
cities to offer psycological support to Linux Users and ease the process of 
smoothly re-entering our community.
