Default Why do you collect ethnographic weapons redux

Having accepted Ariel's dictum that "any collecting is a form of insanity" I searched the forum for the most prevalent cause/s of this affliction

I was looking for an earlier poll but didn't find any. Thus this poll, for your kind participation, please

The two most interesting related thread I found by the way are Vandoo's Different levels of collecting, and Antonio Cejunior's A sociological and anthropological question.

Thanks for participating!
