Oh, it's a lighthearted facepunch to be sure - you're talking to a guy who doesn't make money off his obsession^Whobby who cheerfully upgraded from a 20D to a 1DX and hasn't regretted it yet. I have, however, walked into trees, fallen off ledges/into bodies of water, gotten bowled over by rollergirls and footballers alike, chased butterflies, been duped by squirrels, you name it. If this is wrong, I don't want to be right. :D
Not to say I wouldn't mind making some side coin on said obsession, but frankly if I broke even on gear I'd consider it a victory. :D
