2007-07-14 Things I Collect (Part 1)

Argh... I'm still scratching myself. Damn mosquitoes!

Okay, back to the main topic: things I collect. First thing on my list would be stamps. Everybody collects stamps, I know. So I cannot possible stay away from them, can I? I specialized in German stamps from between 1979 (the year I was born) and now. I even have a list of those that are still missing from my collection on my homepage here. Since I only collect German stamps, it's only reasonable to write the list in German. And since I am looking for exchange partners, it is only reasonable to give my mail address on the list. Or so I thought. It seemed to be a good idea at the time, it really did. But I should have known better, because almost instantly this page doubled the amount of spam I received from around 50 to well over 100 per day and finally made me get a brand new address.
Anyway, that's the first item on my little list of things I collect. If anybody out there cares to exchange stamps with me, feel free to drop me a line!

Fireworks! There were fireworks going on outside when I wrote this. Just three or four rockets, but anyway... it's July and you cannot buy stuff like that except for the week before New Year's Day. Someone must have gone through all that trouble of keeping them for over half a year. What a temptation that must have been!
