What deckeda said. The most important part of the digital photography process is ruthless editing as soon as possible. When I take a series of shots I always look at them immediately on the camera and delete anything that's a duplicate or not an obvious keeper right then and there. Then I usually do another review when I upload them to iPhoto and further cull them. I also try to group them under events and create albums. Typically, less than 10% (probably more like 1%) of the photos I take are keepers.
You're not doing anybody any favors by keeping all of your shots. You're devaluing all of your photos by creating a huge garbage pile with gems hidden by the sheer chaos. I hate it when somebody shows me their vacation pictures where they haven't bothered to edit out the crap. Pure torture!
