Just cause I'm curious.....

Actually that's not the only reason...

We have commented at great length about the massive flood
of comics on the market.  We have done this in conjunction
with the folding of Capital Comics, and again in conjunction
with the suit that First has against Marvel an Wolrd Press.

The basic underlying assumption here is that the "Comic Buyer"
has a finite amount of cash, and therefore buys a finite
amount of comics.  I was wondering if this was true.  Now I grant
you, this forum is not the ideal cross section of the comic
buying public, but its the best I got.   So...

Please answer the folowing question.

     1)  How many comics do you buy a week?
     2)  How do you limit yourself?  (Cash or Number of Titles)
     3)  How many "old standby's" do you buy each month,
	  either for reasons of sentimentality, or for the
	  sake of long collections?

Please feel free to answer in as much or as little detail as
you like.  Send the answers to me, and I will post the results 
on the net.

P.S.   I'd love to post my path but I have no clue.
       You'll have to figure it out for yourself.  
       Sorry, I'm a dumb chemist
