I do it out of curiosity. I want to see how it changes over time. If I
open that '02 and it sucks, I'll have the green light to kill the rest
of the reserves.

I'll also cop to having a bit of a hoarder/collector mentality about
things I really love. (Sadly, money doesn't fall into that category.) I
used to have a few thousand comic books, and I still have a couple
thousand vinyl LPs, even though I haven't had a turntable in years.
