The weather has warmed up. There is much to do outside.
Stamp Collecting is usually put aside, Although, It is fun when the weather in inclement.
The basement ( where I work on stamps) is heated but when the heater is off it is not nice down there.
Expect me too be not so active on this forum until it gets cold again.

I have been playing with Google Sites. Making pages. The above is the first.

The fun of stamp collecting is sorting, soaking, categorizing, contriving display.

After many years of following the rules. I have liberated myself from the dictatorship of vested interests.
With good mentoring and observation it is obvious to me that the triviality of the hobby allows a "sucker borne every minute" attitude to prevail amongst the industry insiders. It is the falt of the rank and hobbyists. The entertainment industry in general takes advantage of peoples need to relax and be silly. I also can't excuse the government postal services that pander to frivolous conspicuous consumption.

Nevertheless The stamp collecting hobby is gracious in promoting different approaches and styles. International cooperation and toleration of eccentric obsessions is an essential quality.
