A New Form of OCD?

In the recent newsletter of the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation, a Dr. Gordon wrote of a specific type of the illness:

Unlike idle curiosity, “Need to Know
OCD” (NTK-OCD) demands an answer. It
has a driven, compulsive quality that is
disruptive and distressing. It differs from
healthy curiosity in that the person with
NTK-OCD has no genuine interest in the
content of the question. Instead, the individual
finds himself compelled to acquire
useless, pointless knowledge.

I asked BB if he thought this described me. His reply:

You got that out the wazoo, sister. you got NTKANTSWOWCGARA-OCD. (Need To Know And Need To Share With Others Who Couldn’t Give A Rat’s Ass)

Well, at least he's honest. And to be perfectly honest myself, I'm not sure this is really a new form of OCD, or simply another symptom of the classic disease.
