oversee the fact that even such a world-class exhibition can reveal the
darker sides of a generally bright and exciting picture of what philately

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

If memory serves, we had seebecks, et. al; Black Blots and other

Shame the elite hoi-poloi now don't consider them as a ground for
downgrading.

Another good reason NOT to bother with the 'exhibit' foolishness.
