Are you a hoarder or come from a family of hoarders? ?

I used to know a chap whose bedroom was completely full of stacks of newspapers. Added to daily. He did have a level of self awareness though - he took a clipping out of one of them and stuck it to his bed headboard. It was about a hoarder who died when a stack of newspapers next to his bed collapsed and killed him.

I am a bit of a hoarder, but I can't pinpoint a category of items. In general, I follow Murphy's Law about how once you throw away an item you've been keeping for years for no reason - there'll be a "reason" materializing as soon as you throw it away... Crippled by such fears, I tend to keep 'stuff' for as much as my space allows me to store it...
