I fully agree with the good Doctor. People think I'm crazy for spending the amound of money on gear that I do, but it makes me happy, and that's all that matters. Just don't hurt yourself by doing it, i.e. putting yourself in the hole debt wise. I say, that if it makes you happy, and you can afford to do it, get whatever you want.

A word of caution though... once you get a bad case of GAS, it really never goes away :( , but it's fun trying to make it go away by buying new gear :D
