Darren,

It is not a business for me; I am simply a collector. That said, whether
you like it or not, it is a business in the aggregate.

My point about class warfare -- apart from it being a weak platform entirely
-- is that if one wants to engage in it one should perhaps at least consider
having some (class, that is). You wrote: "Here's the thing about my
hobbies-- I don't expect to ever get back the money that I put into them...I
not only am used to falling prices on things (thus destruction of cash value
of investments)-- I want it." It would be hard to use logic to respond to
that thinking...

Within the rapidly advancing world of technological R&D, it is obvious that
this dynamic will exist; that said, I'm not sure why anyone would wish for
it in places where it needn't be. If you only expect to lose money as you
spend it, the aforementioned class envy will no doubt persist. Just because
others may have used different -- one might say more prudent -- thinking in
engaging in this arena, it doesn't mean...oh, never mind...

Here's the thing-- for you, it is a business. For me, it isn't.
