The file collectors are a curiousity to me. What's in it for them? Are they just trying to make a name for themselves? Maybe just a hobby?
Why do people collect anything? I suppose bragging rights among other collectors would come into it, and maybe a degree of "fame" if you were the person people went to for some obscure book they wanted. Most people also like to be thanked or otherwise acknowledged for their actions (like the Karma thing here).

The man that Harlan Ellison took to court years back said he did it to make friends online.
