Hoarding Miles

You know, a thread asking the question "should I
upgrade" and some of the responses got me thinking.
I got about 250.000 miles on NWA, about 100.000 on
AA, 100.000 on UA, 150.000 on DL, 40.000 on CI. I
am always trying to get status and therefor don't ever
use any miles. I am always looking for mileage runs
to increase my miles. And of course I am also not half
as savvy as most of you finding fantastic routings and
using your miles. If I can't find it on my first try i forget
about it. Until Schmutzig brought it up I did not even
know about the "open jaw" option. Am I doing the right
thing, am I out of my mind? What's the right thing
to do???
My apologies if another thread has addressed this situation
before and I ask the moderator to remove this post in that
case. Thanks!!
