I was just hauling up an old thread from Antonius Ra to get access to his on-line collection and noticed he is no longer a member, or at least that's the way it appears. I did still manage to get access to his wonderful on-line collection, but I wonder how many of the old guard are no longer with us! If you're still out there checking in occasionally Mitch, your collection is still much appreciated and please keep it available to us. If I want to see what a stamp really looks like your site is often used by many of us, thanks!!

What site is it that you are referring to?

I'm still to damn lazy to learn how to make a site active, but if you just highlight Mitch's URL above and give it a visit you can have access to his amazing collection!!

I'm pretty computer illiterate, so the error is probably mine, but I got the following when I tried to access it:
Dan C.

re: I wonder who else didn't rejoin

That's really weird! When I try to access it from the URL in my post I get an error as well. When I access it from a post under "Canada, Postage Stamps" in the post called "Colours NS#2 and NS#3" it takes me right to the Seymourfamily site. Why would one method work and the other not? The site shows a fabulous collection we should all be able to access. Would someone who knows Mitch well mind asking him if he objects to us using his collection site as a reference?

The site comes up for me and I have Norton to protect against suspect URLs.

And now that you mention it I always enjoyed his contributions.

re: I wonder who else didn't rejoin

I'm assuming Mitch is OK and just decided not to be a member any more. He didn't comment often but his comments were always useful and well thought out. I wish him well!!!

Mitch may be in poor health...he has not been very active on Stamporama for a while now.

re: I wonder who else didn't rejoin

Heard back from Mitch. He says mainly just sleeping and resting. Still trying to recover from all the stuff he has gone thru over the past years. Stampwise, he is not doing much.

His email addy is on the front page of his collection webpage. Maybe some messages direct to him from other members may be the spark he needs to re-kindle his stamp interest.

re: I wonder who else didn't rejoin

I know of several who did not rejoin.

I will not mention their names as I feel the decision was theirs to make for whatever reason.

A couple of these people were 'buyers only' and did not participate in any discussions on the site, nor did they post anything for sale. Their reason "not paying a fee to buy stamps on Stamporama or anywhere else".

One was a 'seller only' and has not been on the site for over a year.

Two are having health issues and stamps have been put on the back burner for the time being.
