Watch Collector Type 4
Mar 02, 2015,02:50 AM
Mike,
My nom de plume is MTF and I'm a physician, formerly in psychotic drugs R&D.
My considered diagnosis:
You is sick, Man.
Da Loony-Bin has nuffin' on ya!
Prognosis:
With strong drugs and psychotherapy, you may progress to Collector - Type 4, at best. An extra category with only one inmate.

Which is kind of what I had in mind with my suggestion for a "Research" forum (link below). This kind of article (series) represents the institutional knowledge of PuristSPro and should be catalogued in a way that is easily accessible for Purists over the...
