Interesting question. It depends on whether we consider CRIMPing a form of addiction, and if so, which type of addiction. E.g. a recovering alcoholic can go on forever without another drop of alcohol but a recovering over-eater still needs to eat to survive.

It might be that CRIMPing is similar to looking for a way of life or a religion. Once you’ve found it (such as the optimal collection of software tools or life style choices or spiritual practice and community), there is no need for further (excessive and compulsive) shopping, only for maintenance and perhaps minor readjustments and replacements.
