Default Collecting disease.

What makes you think we need curing?

It is an addiction not virus that can be spread amongst friends and family.

Like all habits that we think can't be stopped they can in fact be stopped immediately. It's called willpower.

That's not collecting, that's hoarding that is! Thanks for sharing.
