Re: [vcf-midatlantic] slightly OT: Collector vs. Hoarder
Hello! I collect certain series books, Doctor Who and the Tom Swift Junior series, Star Trek and some Star Wars novels. Also certain magazines...... Oh and a small zoo of cats here, stuffed animals. Now please ask me off list about Dino. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

This part of the last post caught my eye:
*>Clearly, this was a collector, not just a hoarder.*
This is worrying! Is there some test that can be taken to determine ‘collectorness’ vs ‘hoarderness’??
p.s. for myself I may need professional help and/or medication to understand why I keep "collecting" floppy drives :(
If it makes you happy, does it matter? If anyone criticizes you for it, that's a great litmus test to write them out of your life.

Hello! (He said that into the computer while a Yeti watched and two cats were trying untie his laces.) I read them every couple of weeks, and they are as fresh as the day I first got them from a river of books, (or other sources.). Now please ask me off list about Dino. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
