"Do you collect for yourself or others? and if its 
for yourself do you really need to justify it to 
someone else?"

Wow, that IS deep. ^-^  And true for a lot of 
things, not just collecting. The truth is that in 
some people collecting runs just as deep as 
a love of painting does in others. It's not 
something you can make go away, and it's 
often not something most people can 
understand. It's a deeply emotion thing for 
some and deserves that same kind of 
respect. 

Thank you for making that point.
