Hi Moonrabitt, 

I can understand your fellings, but cant say that I agree or 
endorse them.  There are two primary reasons for this.  

First and foremost, in my opinion, if you are collecting for the 
approval of others, you are collecting for the wrong reason.  
Collecting should be a personal thing, and done in the way 
which brings the collector enjoyment.  Now, having said that, 
everyone derives satisfaction and enjoyment from different 
places.  For some people, it is sharing their excitement and 
enjoyment with others.  Other people are a little more private, 
and, in some cases, are even afraid this would be interpreted as 
bragging.  I personally stratal the two, and understand both 
perspectives very well, but know that most people fall a little 
more strongly to one side or the other.  

The second reason is that not everyone has the kind of time to 
really pull this off.  On a good week, I, and many others, have 
only a few hours of free time to even consider putting towards 
updating a web site.  For that reason, I collect cels at a much 
faster rate than I can possibly update.  I struggle to even get a 
web site up and running, much less updated, and with the 
commentary I would like.  

I certainly hope this is not interpreted as a criticism in any way 
to those who maintain beautiful and informative sites.  I love 
visiting the sites in the free time I have.  However, I hope it is 
understood that not everyone has the same time constraints, or 
even motivations, but can love their cels and the act of collecting 
just as much, even if it isn't as visible to others.
