    I already had over a dozen saws before I found my first Internet saw site. Joined up and bought 7 saws the next week and it has been downhill since.

    I do that several times a week, if not almost every day. I donate the cookies to my neighbor for shop heat and dump the chips out back in the ditch by the cart load. There is nothing wrong with me. I can stop anytime I want. :saw: :saw: :saw:

    It can start of innocently:
    - First you need a saw.
    - Then a back-up.
    - Well maybe a larger or smaller saw would be handy.
    - Then the saws that are literally given to you for repair/rescue for $25 or less.

    Me, nah I don't have CAD. After all I only have 9 running saws & a few project/parts saws.

    Here are a few difinitions of what others have said

    CAD= Chainsaw Action Dependancy (if you like watching chainsawvideos) I likethis



    C = Chainsaw ~: Portable power saw; teeth linked to form an endless chain;

    A = Addiction ~: Being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or phisically habit-forming

    D= Disfunction ~: any disturbance in the functioning of an organ or body part or a disturbance in the functioning of a social group



    CAD (chainsaw acquisition disorder) is a disease you catch from hangin' around with other guys who already have the disease. The disease makes otherwise prudent people believe that they actually have a need for an unlimited number of chainsaws in various sizes and colors
