That's just wrong. Now you're scaring me. NO APPS. How many is too many? I've read some posts here where people said they had over 10. I have 7, 5, and 6. I think that's high. No more. 
Jay you are hanging in there better then most of us

I think watching app-spree threads is often like watching your neighbor cut down his apple tree repeatedly and then wonder why he doesn't get much fruit next year.
I'm with you - I'm trying to grow my AAofA, keep a positive history, and put some age on those newer accounts, so I can have a great harvest in 2012.

I agree with BOTH of these sentiments! I just keep repeating to myself in a nice, calm tone of voice, "garden, garden, garden..." LOL!
