commented on OCD towards my new watches... ยท

I don't wish to sound confrontational - I really mean that - but do you suffer from some form of OCD, or are you using the term the way so many people sadly do, to describe nothing more than their minor idiosyncrasies? Again, please don't take exception to my question, but as someone who lives with a quite extreme form of OCD, it can be a bit much to stomach sometimes, when people totally misuse the term, especially when the condition can have such a devastating effect on some sufferers' lives.

Yours,

Far more friendly than he may seem.๐Ÿ˜‰
