Hey Richard, out of curiosity and speaking of PSE, do you (or anyone else in here) listen to (I believe it's) their podcast, Stamp Show Here Today? I always enjoy it, and they're a bit off the wall, which makes it all very fun to listen to, even if some of their discussions are irrelevant to my existence since I'm not really a formal US collector.
But one of the things that entertains me is that this is how you know they're *experts* - they talk to each other in Scott numbers.
One guy: "Hey so someone sent in a 432a today!"
The others: "ARE YOU KIDDING?! WOW!"
Carmen, usually listening to the podcast while out and about on her walk and thinking snarkily: "Oh fer Pete's sake, what de heck is a 432a?! Now I have to wait till I get home and go look it up, sigh."
Which I invariably forget to do, till the next time they do it.
