- Jaruzel 8y agoI'm into space stuff, and I could just feel his excitement in his words. It's always nice to see people really enjoying their hobby I think. If you have any level of OCD then this sort of article would appeal to you.
- thomasfedb 8y agoThis is not what OCD is. I wish people would use the term appropriately.
- Jaruzel 8y agoI wish people would use the terms Depression, Anxiety, and Suicidal appropriately, but they don't do that either. Apologies if I offended you/anyone with my use of the term OCD. If he can ignore it and move onto something else then it's clearly not OCD. However, the author is obsessed with finding out everything he can about Saturn V, to the extent he travels across the country to look at a sticker on one of parts that on display. Some people would call that an unhealthy level of obsession.
- thomasfedb 8y agoI'm not offended, I'm just perplexed why people (and not just you) use "OCD" when "obsessive" expresses their meaning better, and without involving a medical diagnosis that they're not actually referring to.
- DEADBEEFC0FFEE 8y agoI read the article and while the marking was not interesting to me, the passion and persistence of the author was quite heartening.
- stordoff 8y agoI _have_ OCD - it didn't make the subject matter appealing.
