Indeed. 

This is a curious new trend... people just 'collecting' sound after sound to
amass the largest library imaginable ....

But never using them - I know *loads* of people like this.

Not so much like squirrels - I liken them more to magpies... collecting
things they have no use for.

And these people don't seem to care about quality either... they'll just
download or acquire *anything*! And sadly, they don't seem concerned about
the source or its copyright either :-(

I know people who come home from work, have something to eat, crack open a
beer and spend every evening scouring the net for freebie downloads! Why
don't they spend the same time actually making music? Ah yes... that'll be
because they don't have enough sounds... best get some more. And so it goes
on.

I find it very peculiar.
