Comment on The difference between a Collection and a Hoard, is "Standards"

  This just means you let stuff just add on the pile, right?

    That, and I occasionally pull things out of the pile then put them back on top, so they slowly organically sort into having the most frequently used things on top. I also have multiple piles that organically evolve into specializations. For example, I never intended to have a “old specialized cables” pile, but it emerged from the bottom of the “old hardware I seldom use” when I transplanted all the top stuff into a new discrete “electronics I might salvage someday” pile. It’s not a good system 🙃

      Yeah… That sounds like neither a collection nor a hoard but just a…
      Pile of stuff.

      Only you can prevent your pile of stuff from becoming a hoard, keep on subdividing those piles.

      Ah afellow electronics I might salvage someday collector! They call us hoarders but one day we’ll replace those faulty caps / learn to micro solder / source a very specific and difficult to find component and then oh boy will we have saved the cost of replacing that thing that we’ve done without for the last several years!
