Watch Collector Type 4
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.

Classes?
First off, thanks for doing this post. I am really looking forward to it. I am currently a "mainstream" collector that is looking to take a step up the ladder. I read PuristSPro as much as I can given my work schedule, etc (don't you hate it when real lif...

with this gentle madness. Bravo
Articles with some advice and some (self-wincing) observation
I can't help thinking what a crackpot (nutcase, wild man, enthusiast, Purist?) I become when I get my teeth into a hobby ... sigh. You should see what's become of my office, with tools strewn about, straps and bracelets everywhere, watches in various stat...
