Between records, sixteen millimeter films plus the VHS tapes & DVD's 
I've got, yep I'm a hoarder. Way too much & I still collect more 
however my home is not totally filled yet. I can still move around in 
it. Oh & I'm a digital hoarder too with tons of mp3 & flac files. Not 
bragging. Just a fact of my life. I'm sure I'm not the only record 
hoarder on the list though. Most of us have much more than we have 
time to listen to. Some of mine haven't been played in years & I 
still hang onto them......
