[CH] Hot Sauce Collections

I love to collect hot sauces (as well as making them) and have about 150
of them proudly displayed in my basement along with other salsas and
condiments.  Lately, when people see my collection, I get ragged on for the
amount of money I've foolishly spent on a stupid hobby.  They sit there and
try to calculate exactly what the collection cost me and try to embarrass
me.

I'm used to marching to my own drummer and have tastes in everything far
from the mainstream but this is starting to get to me a little bit.  I
feel I shouldn't have to justify my sauces or extensive CD collection just
because they are right there for everyone to see.  I don't ask others to
explain why they shell out thousands a year on expensive toys, greens fees,
ski weekends, Caribbean vacations, or Patriots season tickets.  I'm
starting to think I should just keep my collections to myself.

Does anyone else run into this problem?
