I am doomed then.

So what is it with all this over anxious desires of ours to acquire certain
large numbers of items such as spiral screwdrivers or back saws, or planes, or
chisels etc??

Sure we can use some of course, but I probably have 20+ spiral screwdrivers now,
I have no hope in heck of using them all.

Do we simply hang on to them so they do no get lost in history ? 

Do we make sure they are kept safe for a few more years and then, hopefully,
sell them on at a small profit (they are now older and perhaps harder to come
by) ?

Is it simply because we enjoy the quest for some obscure item and feel some
sense of achievement when we finally find it ?

or what ??

Maybe some of our aptly learned professionals could postulate what happens in
the dark crevices of our minds here.....Derek ??

Cheers
Mal
