From: J. A. Mc.
Newsgroups: rec.collecting.stamps.discuss Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2003 15:46:25 -0700 Subject: Don't change the subject line, please! One of the reasons I go to shows, etc. is for the chance to chat and be 'personal'. Just concentrating on the physical stamp can get dull. Agreed. If *my* stamps are the subject, discussions of perfs, watermarks, shades, etc. are incredibly interesting. If it's *your* stamp, well, my eyes start rolling pretty quickly! I appreciate the little side turns that some of the posts take - so it's the 'flip side' for me, so to speak. Agreed! I feel that I've come to know the most frequent posters to this newsgroup not as a result of their philatelic knowledge, but from their frequent asides. In the stamps shops I visit fairly regularly, the conversation is only partially about stamps and postal history. More often it's about the weather, movies, holidays, politics, disasters, etc. -- the stuff that every day is largely made up of. Stamps are, after all, the frosting on the cake of life! :^) (Some cake. There are large dollops of really yucky stuff in the recipe!) When the temperature is 116* (45+), any little breeze is welcome! G I have two questions: Where do you live? Are you nuts!? :^) Bob Anyway, thanks a lot for your feedback! |
