Greetings Mr. Ingraham.
.
Sir, you give me way too much credit.  Please don't confuse me with my evil
twin brother, the infamous "Gordon Lee."  It's easy to tell us apart.  I,
Sir, am the good looking one.  Evidently there are several "Gordon Lee" nyms
active throughout Usenet and stored in the Google archives.
.
My own advanced Google search indicates a mere 67 posts in r.c.s.d. since
mid-2000 (maybe only a half dozen before then)of which sixty replied to
existing threads and contained twenty words or less.  The majority of these
contained "ot" in the subject line or made reference to Spanish North Africa
or conveyed a parody about a certain well known Reverend.  The remainder of
my posts where nothing more than asking newbie type questions, of which all
were answered or had replies beneficial to achieving satisfactory results.
I only mention this for accuracy because of the innate proclivity of stamp
collectors (notice I didn't say 'anal') to 'fly-speck' every detail. <insert
grin & eye wink here>  I don't post to r.c.s.d., or any other newsgroup,
without the fictitious Great Fritain sig.
.
So, Mr. Ingraham, we can add this post to the ever increasing number (but
less than one hundred) of inane posts I've made to this illustrious group
and lower the percent of those with something of value.  But I do thank you
for your attempt, kind Sir, for shining a good light upon me.
.
Respectfully,

Gordon Lee
