@larocque: as far as compulsions go, i've heard and seen much worse. the thing is, since we all are bound to have compulsions to a degree, it's enough if we keep them to a level where they don't get in the way of everyday life and don't harm/hinder/disturb other people. i'm pretty sure i'm obsessive when it comes to order (not exactly tidying things up, more like keeping everything filed properly and systematically), but it's not a problem for me nor - i presume - for others.
as for the whereabouts and conditions of former wives, i suggest living by the golden rule that sleeping dogs are better left alone.
