Point taken. No intention to start a flame war with Sellam. Been there,
done that.
I was just reponding to Sellam's "Dave, certain chip collectors are not
highly regarded on this mailing list. Responsible and non-obnoxious ones
are quite welcome" comment.
Dave, it's interesting to see your interest in stamp collecting. I have a
nice sized plate block collection. I've always wondered, do serious plate
block collectors have a problem with collectors who collect single stamps?
Do plate block collectors get upset because they think that stamp collectors
are going around tearing up plate blocks to get the individual stamps out of
them?
