Hehe, I am like that too, although I do my ultimate best to control it a bit. But still, it drives Marina crazy sometimes! My father was even worse; after he died, he left us a house full of rubbish, pardon, stuff, and it took us one-and-a-half year to sort it all out. That was difficult, because 90 % WAS rubbish, but 10 % was valuable stuff not be to thrown away under any circumstance. Hm, I wonder what will happen to my conlang stuff when I'm dead. I think the best place I can imagine would be a conlang museum, or conlang library, like the one that was proposed some time ago by I can't remember whom.
