Sender: postage_stamp-request@fits.cv.nrao.edu Dear postage_stamp friends, Yesterday I received a subscription request from a person in Italy. I added the person to the mailing list, and asked their name. The person has replied (see appended message), and I have replied and have removed the name from the mailing list. I wonder how this person discovered our existence. I also wonder whether choosing 'cute' names is a good idea... Regards, Don ------- start of forwarded message (RFC 934 encapsulation) ------- From: [deleted] To: dwells@NRAO.EDU Subject: Subscribe postage_stamp Date: Tue, 7 Feb 95 10:16:21 Hello Don, I sent to Your server my address so I'm able to be in touch with this mailing list. I guess this list is related to collection of postage stamps and related things (covers, FDC,etc). Since I'm a stamp collector and my preferences are on stamps related to Minerals,rocks,mines,etc, and for stamps from Newfoundland(!) and from Italian Colonies (expecially Aegean Islands) I would like to be in touch with other collector. I can offer Italian, S.Marino,Vatican City mint and World Wide used or I can find what people need in fairs or at dealers. Let me know if I'm in the right place. Thanks for Your attention.
