Reckon you can relate the above issue to books too. Despite a certain lack of space, I have a huge, wide-ranging personal collection. People say unbelievably stupid things to me like "You should toss 'em; you can get all the knowledge you need on the internet" OR "You don't need them; you can borrow whatever you need from the library".
Complete Dickheads.

And ever notice how housing for sale, whether via online pics or visiting them, is mostly too ashamed to display bookshelves, unless it's a row or two of airport lounge paperbacks???

No bloody wonder the world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket!!!
Just my 2 cent's worth.

Over 70 rant over (for now) :)
