Response to AMS, what is it?

Wepster's Dictionary : "That delerium to which nearly all serious modeler's succumb to, at some point or another. (also see "temporary insanity") A compulsion to include excessive amounts of detail the casual viewer (or otherwise) will not notice; as in complete interior detail of a model submarine or windowless aircraft which cannot be opened for view, purchasing an entire kit simply for the use of a few decals contained therein. The list goes on and on. Never completely cured. A sufferer may go months or years free of compulsion when the condition once again rears it's ugly (prototypically inaccurate) head." I too suffer from AMS and my pursuit of as much perfection as that which I am capable is probably what prevents me from ever completing anything. I wait for it to pass, so I may go on building.
