Show us your gear - WHY?

PLEASE don't take this the wrong way but..........

Every now and again a new thread starts, show us your scope, gear, eyepieces etc etc

Why?

I don't, in fact until I joined here I didn't even list what I have, and still think it is precocious of me to do so.

I know many US sites where people have started such threads and some even admitted they did it to "show off"........... Oh I have £xxx woth of gear Ill start a thread to show it off.

I am happy to talk about my stuff if it "helps" others, and say what I use it for and how and why but surely a "what do you have" thread is just a "look at me" thread, and if thought out can really put people off.

Alex started a GOOD thread asking newby's to show ther images and not be put off by others images, boasting about what you have benefits who? how?

Thank you
