WELCOME to the rec.collecting.stamps.* newsgroups
If you are a newcomer to the rec.collecting.stamps.* newsgroups, that is,
to rec.collecting.stamps.discuss rec.collecting.stamps.marketplace then welcome! The rest of us here hope that you will enjoy the discussions of stamps and stamp collecting, and take advantage of our "virtual marketplace" for buying and selling stamps. Although this posting focuses mainly on the r.c.s.* groups, you should be aware that there are other stamp-related groups, for example rec.collecting.postal-history (for collectors of stamped and stampless envelopes, postal cards, etc., as they relate to the development and history of postal services) and alt.collecting.stamps (a general-purpose newsgroup about stamp collecting). In order to use the r.c.s.* groups effectively, you should know something about their purposes and history. rec.collecting.stamps.marketplace (r.c.s.m) is basically for buy/sell advertisements from stamp dealers and collectors rec.collecting.stamps.discuss (r.c.s.d) is basically for discussion-type postings, announcements, and requests for trading partners for stamps. You can find links to the "charters" for these groups, which define what kinds of postings are appropriate for them, at http://web.presby.edu/~jtbell/usenet/rcs/ Please note that these two groups were created specifically to separate "discussion" type postings from buy/sell advertisements. Some people are particularly sensitive to ads in r.c.s.d, and if you post one there, you will likely receive e-mail about it. Some responses may be less tactful about this than others. If you posted an ad because you didn't know about the "rules", don't take these responses personally. We all make mistakes once in a while. Simply post your ads to r.c.s.m in the future, to prevent this from happening again. For general information about stamp collecting, see the "Collecting Stamps FAQ" at http://www.stampfaq.org/ -- Jon Bell |
