Just block the obvious trolls / idiots / derampers then they'll have no audience and the Board will be 'cleaner'. They thrive on the responses they get! Used to enjoy reading the posts, but now have to trawl through tons of drivel to get anything worth reading.
Morose: and who then is paying these rampers? I get that people can try to ramp up a share or knock it down, but tell me who you think is paying the rampers?
The only way for me to view this outfit now is to forget about the mask completely and see if anything else they produce is likely to add value. Then base my decisions around that.
Sorry to hear of your disappointment over the stamps from SGI for your niece. If there is any way you could contact me I would be happy to send you a bunch of some decent used stamps for her. SGI is certainly a rip-off - I think that may be common knowledge in the world of philately. The only useful thing is their catalogues but wouldn't even buy those directly from them. The good thing for young or new collectors is how much they can learn about history & geography while enjoying the thrill of obtaining new stamps.
