7 Summiteer -- I am not!

After further research, it appears there are multiple versions of the "seven summits" lists. While there are slight variations -- there are a few constants, such as the inclusion of Everest.

"Everest: Beyond the Limit" is currently on the Discovery channel and I am completely perplexed as to the attraction of climbing this mountain? While today I sit here dumbfounded -- and pretty hellbent on not becoming a "Seven Summiteer", I can't help but wonder...will I change my mind in years to come?
