I was being silly (it's actually very difficult to offend me :)
But my point is that you can't bridle passion, and that's what you have
here. Collecting old computers is a passion for many people, and trying
to keep it "underground" by refusing to talk to reporters or whatnot will
do nothing to stop the spread of interest in old computers.
The positive spin is that there will be more and more people to share
knowledge with, and the guy who starts collecting today just may end up
helping you out in a year or two with that piece of hardware, software, or
information that you need to get a machine of yours running :)
