Couldn´t agree more. Counting all the friends and contacts worldwide made through this "meaningless" and "expensive" hobby...
Also as a "foreigner" all the improvement it has done to my ability of speak and write English, it really feels like meaningless hobby????
All the joy of "hunting" down a missing card from my PC, barganing 1-2 USD for 2 hours like a real gypsy from a flea market in Cairo! After succeeding, feeling like on top of the world!
Recieving stupid envelopes with the dull pieces of cardboard and immediately putting them away so that nobody even by mistake sees them again.
Is this a hobby that I love, Yes it is!
In my opinion there is a way to see always something negative about everything in life!
Who is to blame if this feels boring and meaningless? The guy in the mirror gives the answer!
I use this same topic to say Thank You for choosing this hobby, otherwise I have not met all of You here in HobbyInsider!
