Go looking around at the older topics and if you have an opinion or knowledge or viewpoint then add it in. Try to not say Wow and Great Stuff all the time

, sometimes is OK of course.
There are lots of topics I talk on that I do not collect the stamps but I know something about the cancel or topic.
Or ask questions. Questions are welcome as then it makes the topic fresh and new again to those of us who have known it a long time and sometimes don't even mention obvious things because we assume everyone knows that stuff already. But they don't sometimes.
If you don't ask you don't find out.
I was just (just!) collecting personalized postage but because I also make some (sometimes) I am interested in design and graphics and how other stamps are made and how artists see things and how humans see things from different viewpoints. And so on, there are lots of ideas and interests that are transfer-able or cross over boundaries.
Talk about the stamps you collect, even if just to show them. It is always nice to see stamps (and cancels for me) and we can all learn something new.
You seem like a fine fellow but it is nice to have the 50 posts so that allows all the members to see you and get a feel for how you are, just in case they may need that.
I am interested, for one, to hear more about your collection and to see how you see it. Zoom in on some stamps and talk about them.
Just think, when you reach 50 posts you will be able to email me and ask me in person why do I write so much?
