   You spend waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time thinking about this   
   stuff.You get mad,annoyed,bothered ect...over nonsense that you have no   
   control over.   
   If you can't take,stay home where it is nice and safe.I don't think Rick   
   Springfield was angonizing over you this morning.Maybe there is a   
   alt.binaries.whining newsgroup.   
   You seem to get into this collecting thing way too deep,is it for fun,or is   
   it an obsession ?   
   Its obvious that not many people share your collecting attitude,this isn't a   
   story,its a bitch-fest !!!
