I just finished reading your link, and thank you for this. This is quite interesting. I chuckled only a little bit when I read about Beethoven, as I know many musicians and composers, and while I hesitate to call them hoarders, I have referred to them as packrats. However, with the images we've seen from A&E (which is not a laughing matter), I assume hoarding would involve much more extreme cases. But then again, as I'm sure I will learn, there are probably degrees of hoarding.
