Does a stamp collector become a philatelist?

When they get a perforation gauge, or watermark detector or catalogue?

Or any combination of the above?

Discuss ........

No. I was wondering how I could become a compulsive
neat freak. I need to get out of the rut I'm in without
being one.

Judy - some people are "neat freaks" and some are not. I come somewhere between the two catagories!

I think a watermark detector would have to be a pretty good place to draw the line.

Interesting question to which I don't know the answer. I seem to remember my brother collecting stamps, but I don't think he was considered a philatelist.

I am sure you are not a freak of any kind Judy. I chat on the internet does that make me a net freak?

Don't quite see the connection between neat and clean I would have thought tidyness would be more accurate.

Things can often be described as neat and tidy, I don't recall neat and clean being in common usage.

I agree, it did puzzle me a bit.

Not knowing much about stamp collectiong I am not sure where you would draw the line there, but I know I started to worry abount myself when I found I was discussing output resistors instead of music with my hi fi buddies.

I still can't connect "neat freaks" with philatelist, I must be thick

Teddy what is your Hi Fi system, tell me yours and I'll tell you mine

Apologies Colin. I meant to reply to you some time ago and.........

The setup I have at the moment is Technics. Deck, amp and CD changer. I also have a pair of old Panasonic speakers. Three way plus bass porting. I like the sound and would have to spend several hundred pounds to better them. I have also been assured that despite the label they were made in Britain, possibly by Leak. I bought this when having finished building the extension to my cottage I found that the amp (a NAD) was so full of plaster dust it was not worth keeping. I also had a Lenco deck which I had no trouble selling. It is not the system I would have had as first choice but as I am the only one who regularly uses it I felt it was a good compromise, not wishing to spend more on something which only I really enjoy. As my wife does not enjoy the music I do be it classical, jazz rock or pop not to mention Cuban or Jamacian it does not get used that often.
Look forward to hearing about yours.
