@Hank: Unfortunately, yes, this is where broad generalizations fall down. I doubt any of us fall wholly into one category. Some of us are just more distinctive in one category or another.
I would like to withdraw any reference to cheese, though
@Six: The other thing that gets me is the sheer concentration of legendary artifacts in such a small area. But I suppose I shall have to put it down to Chevars secret society. I guess they're just better at crafting magical items then they are at inventing fictional histories.
