And you are obviously not a typical home user.
Steve, how about a breakdown as to what's in that huge Library folder of yours?
FWIW, I do recognize that emailing around large attachments can start to suck up storage (/Library/Mail Attachments), but that sort of task is the classical domain of a **work** user and stuff like Powerpoint charts, which is not the domain of a typical home user. Even then, we're still talking about an area with fairly significant variability (based on duties), and in at least some environments, a "heavy" email user will be pushing <10GB/year. As such, having 100GB stored represents well over 10 years worth of email, since file size and bandwidth consumption from 5-10 years ago weren't close to what they are today.
