Ahhh, a fellow sufferer. Thank you for sharing.
I, myself, and a victim to the horrible condition known as collecting. My CD collection was in the high hundreds until I sold them all to buy my kids a swingset. My DVD library is large enough to open a video store (around 1500). My paper book library was some where over 2000 15 years ago. My wife is insisting that since we both have 505s, that I need to start getting rid of the paper books. I have been doing this with books that I got 20 years ago and never read but I can't bring myself to get rid of my genre collections and collections of favorite authors even though I have a lot of the books for my Reader.
A good friend who is a great videophile than I worded it best:
"Collecting is not a hobby. It is a sickness."
