Chuck,

Welcome to the porch.

You've already labelled yourself: Galoot.  No further classification is 
needed.

I think of myself as a user, but I more and more find myself ogleing tools, 
just cause they look nice and I want them.

The good part is we all have our passions nourished by the list.

On the internet, you can be whomever you want to be.

Chuck says...

Hmmm...  Well, I've sorta struggled with figuring out what I ought to call
myself.  Not too much different than others on the list, I suppose.
Problems:

  - Calling myself a user implies that I spend a lot more time in the shop
than I do.

  - Calling myself a collector implies that I'm a lot more consistent and
methodical than I am.

Best I've been able to come up with so far is "accumulator."

Chuck Myers, suspecting, based on what happens in his shop, that tools have
developed the capacity to procreate
