I’m sure Mike Vraney was a perfectly nice fellow; it sucks for him to go so soon, and my heart goes out to his friends and family. As a geek, I can certainly understand and sympathize with the magpie urge to collect stuff, and culture is culture regardless of quality.
Having said all that, it’s still kinda weird to me that we celebrate people for diligently collecting and preserving piles and piles of cheap, shoddy garbage.
