>> I grok this, but from a slightly different angle. I'm a finder. Somebody tells me they wish they could find a particular Thing (a rare book, a Duncan Phyfe table), and it goes on my mental "keep an eye open for this" list... until either *I* find the item, or hear from the seeker that someone else found it for them. It's such a delight to be able to surprise someone with something they thought couldn't *be* found! <<
I do that to some extent myself.

That fits with his personality. He does seem to keep an eye out for stuff that his collector friends want. JARVIS and Tony definitely do it too.
>> As for the link: I know how URLs are constructed, so I just tweaked what was there 'til it showed a page not a 404, then pasted in the result.<<
Cool, thanks.
>> I have some art glass of my own; always nice to find Moar Shineez to look at! :-) <<
I collect cobalt glass. I've got a whole set of dishes and glasses, plus miscellaneous stuff like candleholders, figurines, and a juicer. It can be modern or antique; it's the color I care about.
