the word or acronym PAD when referring to acquiring pipes and so forth. What exactly is that?

Pipe Acquisition Disorder. Means you're buying pipes like there's no tomorrow.
The cool thing about this disorder is it can potentially lead to investments that accrue - like the times I have bought pipes which went up in value. But for most folks, PAD is entirely one-way, and you end up having a nice collection. Unless it gets out of hand, which is an extreme case. We are here for you in the event this happens.
By the way, Fader's is one of my favorite shops!
