Many thanks to the numerous people who replied about this topic, the most
amusing being:

	"...and give them more 'Frisbee Anorak' ammo? Not likely!"

[Name withheld, but you may recognise their 'style' ;-) ]

Its worth noting that having tons of discs is not the same as being an
active collector - I too hoard the tournament discs I have gathered over
the years, but would never call myself a collector.

The good news is that we have located a 'Frisbee Anorak' who is actually
listed in Victor Malafronte's disc collectors bible "The Complete Book Of
Frisbee" - the old geezer is based in the Midlands and I have put him in
touch with the TV researcher. Anyone else who has a genuine interest in
this area should contact me and I will forward your details to the elderly
gentleman.

I'm sure you appreciate that I have not named him here for obvious reasons,
but he may wish to announce his true identity, especially if he is indeed
featured on the Channel 4 TV programme being prepared.

Cheers,

Sam.
