Image Thief by
Ralphael1
In a previous post three links were posted. When I click the link all I
get is a "Stop Image Thief."
Doesn't look like a patent protection thing but more of an individual's
personal blockage.
I have never encountered this before, blocked images yes, but not this
type. Anyone know anything about...

When to soak a stamp~further by
Rod
Here is a good example piece for the individual.
would you soak this one?
A fairly yucky example, hard to mount, detracts from
any exhibit, each stamp has a SON.
I wonder what percentage of members would soak this one?
At my stage now I would keep it as is,
A British "used in Ireland"
and all...

Surprises with MS Vista by
Tony Vella
This morning I played around with a new computer running the Vista operating
system for a few hours. I discovered a few things that gave me food for
thought - I was told that effective immediately no more machines with WinXP
are being sold new. I may consider making my two XP machines last me...

Soaking Stamps. by
rodney
IIRC I read recently, when Tracy was discussing soaking stamps,
Ralphael's retort was never to use tongs when soaking.
I am looking at the cover of SG Scandinavian Catalogue
and on the cover it shows a 4kr stockholmia86 issue
with a lad soaking a stamp with tongs.
Isn't this exactly, how not to...

Pakistan "overprint" ? by
malcolm
I have a 1961 Pakistan Service overprint which appears to have an
additional "overprint" or perhaps a cancellation applied in blue ink
by a rubber stamp (?).
The stamp is off-paper but the op reads AFFARABA - but there may be
additional letters before or after as the word extends over...

Invasions" c.395ad
After that,...

Canada Perfin Revenues by
Blair (TC)
The practice of using perfins to protect company assets was not only
applicable to postage stamps.
Here we have a CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY cheque dated 1924, in
the amount of $1,134.42 (quite a chunk of money in 1924).

Criticised with class! by

You know, to a lot of young people (read under 21 yo) driving around
my neighbourhood, I must be regarded as a "boring old fart"
if I count the amount of derision directed towards me because I
insist on driving within the speed limit.
The derision comes generally in the form of an extended digit...

Nigerian scam has become Dutch scam! by

I have just received one of these endless scams, this
time not from a "prince something" somewhere in
Africa, but from a seemingly Dutch person, allegedly
representing the Economic Society of Netherlands
Chamber of Trade and Commerce, and sent from
the British provider .tiscali.co.uk.
