Honestly, my motivation was mostly to give us something else to think about and to talk about. Plus I figured I would learn a few things from my fellow collectors, which I definitely have.
It's a chat board, after all!
Almost as soon as it was proposed, the hypothetical deal was withdrawn by the counterparty. As a result, I didn't have much of a chance to really get deep into an exercise in omphaloskepsis.
And I suppose if I'm being honest, my penchant for voyeurism and over-sharing needs an outlet somewhere. Since I'm not on any social media channel, this is kind of the only club that will put up with my lunacy.
