7. Sommeone pays-it-forward nearly every week (free stamps)!

3. There are games or puzzles going on almost all the time!
2. You can get in on the ground floor of the next big Internet hit!

And the number 1 reason to join is . . . . . . . .

1. It dosn't cost anything!

WOW! If that doesn't grab 'em, nothing will Swabbie.

It's the truth folks. Joining is easy!

I have been lurking and I am already a member. However, since I am not a collector, I haven't much to contribute except maybe a little help in finding something someone is looking for
or an image insert where it gets lost when viewed larger.....
I crop it for the member, hoping they don't mind.

Other then that...I just "lurk". I don't think it would be fair to those who are collectors..for me to particpate in an ongoing PIF's or contest, chances are I may win and that wouldn't be fair either.

I do enjoy seeing these pretty 'stamps' but it hasn't enticed me to start collecting.

BTW your top ten list 'enticed' me to sign in and post.

I'm glad to hear that you are at least interested enough to hang out with us.

I've got a deal for you. If you will email me an address I'll send you a selection of stamps to get your collection started. As my top ten said, it won't cost you anyting, and it may be the spark that gets you hooked!

Hello Mila....

I'll do the same if you'd like. Whom knows, we might just get you hooked. Looking at pictures on a screen is just not the same as holding them in your hand.

laswabbie- Greg and nr-notrare- Tom

Thank you both for your generous offer, but........
Email sent to both of you.

Sounded so good I could not pass it up. I just signed up and posted a couple of photos. I am new to stamp collecting, and will probably need some help, although this seems to be the place to get it.
I look forward to all your input.
Thanks again

Mike
