Just thought I would say how much I appreciate the uploading of the old journals (2000 - 2003) on the web-site. As a new collector of French stamps (of five years standing now) the opportunity to read both the detailed articles and the summaries of previous meetings (and who presented on what topic) has been a real privilege. There is an enormous amount of information in these journals - and even on areas that I do not collect such as the Colonies and some of the Postal History - the insight is helping me to deepen my interest in French stamps and postal services.

I think "standing on the shoulders of giants" is an apt phrase as I pursue my own rather idiosyncratic interest in the themes presented on French stamps (especially modern issues) and constantly find nuggets of information in the very detailed research and panoply of history that others have so generously made available in the journal over the years.

So thank you for whoever has so painstakingly uploaded each issue, it is a very valuable element in the web-site. .

best wishes to all
