The above noted portions of your earlier post give me considerable concern. Speaking for the CAD community as a group, we are worried. Although I don't know you personally, I must confess a certain degree of sorrow at hearing such bold and reprehensible statements coming from anyone in this community. Help is available. You need more saw time, not fewer saws. You need fewer hobbies, not fewer saws.
I suggest you begin your therapy by turning off your phone and going into your shop or garage or whatever area is set aside for saws and filling your nostrils with the aromatic bouquet of two-stroke mix and bar oil. Next, take time to visually appreciate each saw you have. Enjoy the classic lines of magnesium, the worn but robust paint lurking under the grime, the shiny reflection of the individually sharpened cutters on a good, full chisel chain. Then carefully fuel and prep a chosen saw. After prepping, cut until it is out of fuel. Smell the intoxicating scent of burnt fuel mix and freshly cut wood. Feel the vibrations of the saw as is slices through cookie after cookie.
Then rest, knowing you are one of the last, best hopes for all manner of true men throughout these United States and, indeed, the world. We are the thin line holding back the chaos of so-called "men" who wear speedos and drink tea with their pinkie finger extended. We stop the onslaught of those who would dare to have their hair "styled" instead of simply cut at a barber. We push back the insanity of the girlie "men" who would embarrass all true men by having ... dare I say it? A pedicure. Those of us who have CAD are among the true, real men of the world who still carry a handkerchief, a pocket knife and actual cash. We are the last of the holdouts who still open doors for ladies and come to attention when we hear the Pledge of Allegiance. Stand fast, my friend and hold to the values that made this land great.
You do not have too many saws. It's the media distorting your view of reality.
