"...because she is a hoarder."

I think this one boggles my mind.   I've seen most of the A&E and then TLC
programs on hoarders and hoarding.   And I had noticed the trend to calling
this a disease, mental issue, etc.

However I fail to recall any instance where one took files from the office
home and calling this a hoarding disorder.   From my amateur perspective, I
see two types of hoarding --  one the keeping of everything without ability
to discard or discern trash from treasure; and the second, hoarding as an
accumulator of things or objects.

This will be an interesting issue and defense to watch.
