Magazine Hoarders

I know of several people who can't bear to part with their magazines.  Now I see boxes and boxes of old National Geographics, which apparently a person or her/his family or his/er executioner finally in desperation had to part with.  And, having old Consumer Reports might be valuable to review possible purchases.  We do have to accept that geeks are not known for neatness.  Therefore, beaucoup copies of Wired simply is part of the geek role.  But enormous collections of certain magazines may tell too much about a person.  Don't you find that a guy that has more than one Maxim in his apartment might have lost some luster?  I asked other women; they use terms like "desperate," "pituful," "weird," "pathetic," and other words for that possible situation.

On the other hand, having a closet for my Cosmos is just for convenience in storage!
