Just a quick introduction.
I've kept VFT's seriously since 2002, but early last summer I separated from my wife and, unfortunately, had to leave my collection at the family home.
A month ago I was able to rescue my collection, although I was unsure as to what exactly I'd be rescuing - they had to rely on natural rainfall since last year, of which there wasn't a great deal of from memory.

Once upon a time, not really that long ago, in a galaxy pretty much all around us, there was this Homo Sapiens sapiens called Niels. He was a strange fellow, but no one believed him, when he said he was strange, so he decided to act normal against his own nature.
Between the age of 6 up until 25 he spent a lot of his time listening to a few people, torturing many with boring speeches on how life is complicated and we have to prepare, on "bonjour, je m'appèle Niels" in fact means just the same as "Hello, my name is Niels" and on how two numbers can become one by simply putting a + or - between then. But amongst these torturers, also called teachers, were some who had, against all odds, something interesting to say: "Did you know that when you're sitting still at your desk now, you're actually moving at 28.000 km/s around the sun?" and "Did you know that once, you were too small to be seen even under a normal microscope?" This specific group of torturers, called 'the science teachers' seemed to be the worst kind for a lot of his colleague victims, but Niels could not be harmed by their methods. This is when he first realized: "Hell, why don't they put all science courses on one day so i can report sick all the other days!"
Anyway, the scientist in him was awoken and at the blessed age of 18, he left the languages for what they were, abandoned all religious ties he had with the most famous fictional character ever conceived by mankind and couldn't care less for the laws of "offer and demand". So he started on his exploratory journey of unraveling the mysteries of life. Biotechnology baby!
