This is a real storm in a hissy teacup stuff. One guy's coveted old computer magazines is another guy's paper recycling. Maybe the author should have first checked to see if these were any use better elsewhere.

I know nothing about this stuff and have never had the desire to "collect" anything. But it seems like part of the problem is that the author received these materials from other folks who trusted him to find a good home for them on. So he feels a sense of responsibility to the folks who gave him the stuff.

The author has racked up significant debt hoarding other archival materials over the years so yeah he's a little disappointed someone else just threw stuff he spent good money on saving

> who trusted him to find a good home for them on.

Guess he messed them around on that one so.
