>>Could it be that the more we collect, the more we think about our collections ...<<

Pardon me, but like duh! :-)

Although I suppose there may such a thing as the 'Wacko-Zombie' - one who has collected so many pieces they no longer think about what they're doing and their behaviour reflects mindless accumulation without regard.

The FogSignal Players present: Night of the living Wacko-Zombie...

[Margie] "Dear, I thought you went to the store to buy Hillsboro".
[Alfonse] "Uh, er, yes - I did go."
[Magie] "Honey - this isn't Hillsboro. Its a set of miniature ceramic thimbles depicting scenes from the Battle of Waterloo."
[Alfonse] "Oh. Ok. Well, just put them in case four - next to Biloxi. I'll go gas up the car."

Is the only significant conclusion to be drawn from all this is there no significant conclusions can be drawn? Is this itself a significant conclusion?

Pardoxically yours,
