Whatever floats your boat. Carla: Okay, so some people like helping others, some people like to amass obese collections of things. Whatever floats your boat.

To remove that level of confusion, I just leave them ordered correctly inside the box and just rotate the box on the shelves. But it is annoying. Very annoying. Admittedly most of my box sets (Blackadder and Black Books, for instance) tend to be of the fold-out form, and not the "DVD cases in a box" type, which makes deciding easier.

Kevin: I would *LOVE* it. Kit: Other people don't understand this compulsion for alignment! I've got a question for you re: DVD box sets. Do you stick the open end of the cardboard cover on the outside, so you get the same width cases (but with the intrusion of a cardboard liner on all sides), or do you embrace the diversity and let the flat cardboard shell face out? I'm trying both, and I'm really not sure. Zoe: There is so much beauty in a straight line, Zoe!

The librarian comment applies strongly to me. I hate variance in book sizes. VHS tapes were bad too; damned variable size. DVDs have the problem of box-sets, which belong together but don't fit in racks... CDs are just... ooh :). It's like iTunes but... for real. Ooh yes.

Shuddering at that thought myself. How would you feel about actually having to catalogue them all and put them neatly away to start with? Shuddering at that thought myself.
