Thank heaven there is a man who is a packrat!!
Reminds me of the time an auditor was in my department, going through my records.
He was a pleasant sort, and in chatting he bemoaned the fact his wife is one, expressing his belief if she hadn't used/worn/needed something within two years - 'CHUCK it' - period.
My reply was WRONGO, Bucko -
it is possible you might need it a whole 11 years out, and you'd be deprived of the smug feelings generated by having just the article you really, really need.
