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.
