"I have a problem with collectors, I admit it. Clarice Cliff hoarders, people who want every Allcock rod made, those who seek to cop each Class 37 diesel built. It's wrong on so many levels but basically it's just wrong giving vent to that completist gene. I hope I treat such people with good grace in real life but folk is stuffed with them, absolutely chokka-bloody-block."

If you can't make a distinction between knick-knack collectors and song collectors in the context of a discussion about folk music, then perhaps you should go back to playing with marbles and pulling pig-tails.

At least SO'P seems motivated by genuine interest in and enjoyment of music. I'm not sure why you showed up, other than to waste your own time trolling around, flinging invectives, and constructing logical fallacies.
