I had to vote yes as I've also taken more pics this year (probably on account of buying my first dSLR).

I've got my old portfolios under my sofa from college and keep having a look. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to go back in time with what I know and have now (the F5 was due out then and a 3.2Mp Sony camera they bought cost several thousand pounds - think I would get a few funny looks holding a D1x in 1997!). But then again I wouldn't be who I am now and I'm happy enough.

Also I have had a lapse from this forum for quite a while and coming back here has also had an positive effect on my photography so that says something about yous lot don't it
