Welcome to the Virtual Stamp Club! We're sort of an on-line philatelic newspaper or magazine, with a 
VERY active <i>"Letters to the Editor"</i> section. In our Forum, you'll find 
news, information, opinions and advice. <a href="#rules">[message board rules]</a><P>

And, we hope you'll add YOURS to the mix! Our participants range from 
the very-experienced to the inexperienced; most of the former enjoy 
helping the latter, so please don't think "<I>I don't know enough to post a 
message."</I> <P>

We're (still) a friendly bunch, so if you say something outrageous 
or tongue-in-cheek, please remember to include an <I>"emoticon"</I> so we'll 
know you weren't entirely serious ;) <P>

Please come to one of our Chats -- live discussions about stamps, 
philately, and postal services. Many are informal. It 
costs less than driving to a club meeting, and you don't have to dress 
up. On the other hand, you have to supply your own doughnuts and coffee.<P> 

In the Article Archives, you'll find articles, earlier discussions, transcripts 
of Conferences, press releases, and many, many stamp illustrations. If you have 
something of that nature you think might be of interest to your fellow 
compu-philatelists, please email <a href="mailto:lloyd@virtualstampclub.com">Lloyd</a>.<P> 

If a topic seems "slow," the best way to get it moving is to post 
something there yourself. Many of us tend to forget about certain topics 
until we see a message in them. <P>

Thanks for stopping in, and we look forward to seeing you again!<P>
