Are you a hardcore anime fan?

Some anime organizations and forums think there is little difference between the people who call themselves hardcore fans and those that classify themselves as amateur fans.
Is a hardcore fan someone who knows everything about one particular series and has all the memorabilia sound tracks and posters or is it someone who has seen a wide spectrum of anime?
I have been having debates with extreme naruto fans who know everything about this series to find out what a hardcore fan is and they say they are hardcore fans yet naruto is hardly a ground breaking anime in my opinion. Whereas Ive seen maybe around a hundred anime and know a moderate amount about each one and have a variation of posters and memorabilia from many titles and studios.
Some argue that watching hentei,yuri,yaoi makes you hardcore also though I don't know if this is true also. I would hardly consider myself a hardcore fan or expert on anime though and consider myself to be a moderate fan. What about yourself?What do you classify yourself as?

I consider myself a moderate fan, since at any one time I have to have an anime to watch... I also buy little merchandise, like the rings from KHR, haha
I read fanfics too, but not much
I'm not a hardcore fan since I don't cosplay and I've never been to an anime convention in my life XD

i think "hardcore anime fan" means that a person is TOTALLY into it...
..i was once like that..i collect things with pictures of anime characters or symbols on it..i don't care if it's a plastic of junkfoods or something that any other people would think a junk, as long as it has those pictures, i will collect it..sometimes my nephew would rip them secretly(he just like to destroy things) and when i found out i would hurt him but my parents would scold me and all i can do is cry.
..and also, when my parents won't allow me to watch anime(they say that it's not good for me) i would go wild(yes, wild!..i would throw/rip anything that i can see..LOL)..but now, i think they're tired of stopping me from watch anime so they don't do it anymore..^.^
i'm really addicted to anime before but now i watch it for fun..i don't collect anime stuffs anymore but i'm still into it..i could watch anime the whole day and my ears would move(like in animes..but not literal) when i hear the word anime or any titles/songs of anime..so, i think, i'm in the middle of moderate and hardcore..^.^v
