I am not criticising the forum or anything but I think that adding a Glossary of terms link for stamp collecting in the navigation options similar to that on the coin forum would help a newbie like me very much.

Is this possible? "just an innocent question"

Thanks and sorry if I crossed the line

It would be difficult to make a complete glossary of terms for all areas of stamp and cover collecting. Most glossaries I've seen are usually generalized and incomplete or specific to an area. Here's two examples:
http://glossary.usstamps.org/
and
http://www.swiss-philately.co.uk/glossary.html
Both are helpful, but neither are complete. I guess we can create one and build on it as we find information.
