Collect and accumulate are synonyms.
I guess I'm trying to figure out what your
'packrat vs. collector'
comment at the front has to do with the rest of your comment. Is
there some higher, more-esteemed thing called a 'collector' that is
superior to a packrat? I agree that organized and managed
collections are better. I just don't know where to draw the line
without coming off like we're labeling (self-labeling) ourselves
with some sort of clinical disorder and/or stepping up onto a
pedestal.
A collector collects. A packrat accumulates.
