You really can't buy just one, can you...

... My message was a personal observation to show that there are some on this board who only own one kilt, and are comfortable with that. I'm sorry you took it the wrong way, my apologies....

Actually, I am quite in agreement with your prior post. And everyone should appreciate that as equally passionate and valid. My comments were intended to supplement that point of view a bit.

I believe there is a natural personallity trait, that we all have to some degree, that gives us the urge to gather and collect. Whether it is old cars, old books, teaspoons, shoes, postage stamps, beer cans, single malts, comic books, or kilts... the basic instinct to collect is at work. Perhaps a throwback to hunter-gatherer survival?

We humans are interesting and complex creatures. I don't think anyone really understands why we do some of the things we do.

BTW, my wife thinks I have too many shop tools. Potato chips parhaps?

Good....I was worried I gave the wrong impression, Blu, and I certainly didn't want to do that. :mrgreen:
