Thank you for this fine cartoon, Blair. Although the problem is serious it
is probably a good thing not take take it too seriously. Problems exist in order to be solved, someone once said, but at the same time there are opportunities that should not be missed, the use of the Internet being one of them also for philatelic purposes. Question is whether the use we stamp collectors make of it today could be improved or at least better coordinated. Many of this groups readers will acknowledge the situation where you find a very interesting link, you click on it, and you end up with one of the commercial sites of the internet branches because the site was closed or moved to another server. Another proactive way of using the net to recruit new collectors is for us to tell our stories. I mean 1) How did you become the collector you are? 2) What is the story behind your favorite collection? 3) What is the story of your favorite collection? At my recently created blog I try to make some suggestions and also try to do what I myself suggest. I am still working on that project. Want to see? http://philatelyoftoday.blogspot.com/ Have a nice day Svend PS: On RCSD a series of "looking back # xxx" is running. Its introduction is long gone and I missed it. Please repeat. And will these pieces of memory be saved and put at a place where you can find them again? Kind of dictionary.

Funny, yes! 100% politically correct, nope... although this seems to be the modus operandi of kids today. When approached with a challenge several years ago, I decided to use the Internet - and only the Internet - to recruit new collectors or bring the old timer back into the fold. So far, this has not let me down, concerning the results achieved to date. Another message will explain this better, so look for my "Freebie Stamp Project" update message. |

I could only find one source at short notice It is Item 1408 under literature of "General Interest" here..... http://www.mainstreet-philatelics.co...aturelist.html It is "Sloanes Column" 1961 reprint by Turner. I trust/hope this is the same general interest with a US bent that you have been reading on this NG. The proprietor Mr. Bernstein is a very helpful fellow. The book is a little expensive at $50 you may find cheaper copies Googling. ......or just search the RCSD archives here http://tinyurl.com/2yvb6t Search for all Blairs posts with the heading "looking back" and save them :) a lot cheaper. Caveat emtor Regards Rodney |
