whistle collector

wouldn't it be nice to change the thought — what do you collect ???

How about what interests you ?? OR what do you research ???

Yeah, that sounds better. Not a collector, but a 'researcher'.  or is it just semantics ??

Let's contrast the two. or perhaps they aren't so far apart ??

collector — gathers items ( let's say whistles ) — researcher gathers whistles AND information about whistles

collector — examines the parts — so does the researcher

collector — categorizes — same with researcher

collector files ( and displays ) his whistles — researcher files his information

wow, thought I was on to something there. Guess they are close to the same after all. Guess I owe an apology to all those hoarders.

….of course, not if anything isn't shared.. Is this an oxymoron ??

Hmmmm…….
