I agree with what you say and I am guilty of taking lots of shots but I 
look at what I've shot and try and learn what makes the good shots good 
and the dross shots dross. In time I may not need to take so many shots.

Having said that, I don't see the problem with taking many shots if 
there is no additional cost involved. I accept that you wouldn't want to 
do that with film because you would be wasting a lot of money but the 
advantage of digital is that once you have bought your kit, there are no 
additional costs.

I'd rather fire off a few extra shots than to get home and find I'd 
missed the shot I really wanted.
