Yeah. I have seen that several times over the years and there is so
much truth to it. I see that the annual 'what to use to bag leaves'
threads have started over alt.home.repair. Even after they have been
told the simple way is to mow/mulch em, they still go on about buying
fancy equipment to vacuum them up.

What do you do when there is a 3 foot layer of leaves?

Assuming you're unable to mow them into oblivion*, you could try a rake.
It's a relatively new invention,

yea and I'll be glad when they invent a better
muffler for that loud thing called a rake. g

so, like when CD players first became
available, you might have to get on a waiting list. No matter what anyone
tells you, you can rake & bag as fast as or faster than with a leaf blower.

* Yes, there are situations where you can't use the mower to grind up the
leaves.

I laughed until it hurt watching a city boy take a
bagging mower into a flower bed.
