Greg,

I have roughly over 100,000 pieces plus, Gary Istok has I think 500,000+ or so,
and I know some other people have more. Don't worry about it. I use maybe 0.5%
(roughly 500 bricks) if that many. I have all of my Lego's sitting around most
of the time simply because I have too little time to do what I want. I worked
hard all my life collecting them, I bought those bricks, they are mine. I do not
feel guilty about it, neither should you (Unless, of course, you ripped them
from the arms of babes! then you might qualify as a Republican! (J/K))

I've been feeling a little guilty... I have no idea how big my Lego collection is, a guess is maybe 20,000 pieces or so. I usually work on one project at a time; maybe a large spaceship, castle, or something. But my mode is usually one project at (...) (27 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
