Smile Is this a problem?

I got introduced to Paper Modeling several years back, coming off years of plastic and model railroading. I enjoy Paper Models for the wide diversity, and make it a rule that although I love ship models, I always build something unrelated between each one.

But, I find myself always going anywhere there is a new free model posted and downloading it - automatically - even if there is little chance I'll ever build it. For example, Cannon has just listed a fantastic model of the Potala Palace - and it looks fabulous. But, there is little chance I'll ever build it - I'm not sure that I even have room to work on it - still I downloaded it.

My question - is this a problem?

Or, is it just the pack-rack in me?

It's not a cost factor - I have U-Verse and it takes only seconds to do it. But I just checked, and I have at least 6.8gig worth of model files. True, I have bought 30 or 40 of them off various online sites.

I'm not really concerned - I'm just curious how others view this habit of collecting all the freebies that we can.....

Thanks!
