Hi again, Rod
Are you sure your computer is tuned at the right time zone ? Your post shows here marked 3:27 am (my time) and it is 2:55 am, now in France. Or did you invent the "faster than the light" internet ??? :-) -- All the best, Pierre |

Why not contact Niall Murphy
the owner I think, of "Moldova Stamps" website.? Here is recent text by Niall on this Newsgroup Dear Mr Rein, Sorry, I may have been a little over-defensive in my comments. Both web sites have taken years to produce and the task has been largely thankless. I suppose that I have created these sites as a kind of legacy.... something I can be remembered for. It seems like a wothwhile project and nobody else has done any serious work in this area before. This was my chance to make something new, to cover new ground and to create some interest in the area. I intend to keep these sites going for as long as I 'm alive and to continually develop them. Maybe after I'm dead I'll become famous for this work LOL ! But I have to confess that the level of interest in this area is very low indeed. Even after wining and dining Moldovan government people in Chisinau and having meetings with their Post Office, official recognition has not been forthcoming and they have failed to even provide me with a technical contact to confirm accuracy or to tell me about new issues. I have similar problems getting any recognition in PMR. I think there is much interest in Moldova/PMR stamps in continental Europe but I need to get the sites translated into German and Russian. It can be extremely frustrating when someone comes along and appears to knock your work saying that it's just propaganda and an effort to flog bogus material to unsuspecting collectors. Having re-read your comments, I realise that you were not saying that at all. Apologies for my knee-jerk reaction !! I have no political agenda whatsoever. Moldova and PMR are two states in total conflict, yet I have produced two parallel sites containing information about both state's stamps and given them equal space. I have also clearly noted in the PMR site that under FIP regulations, none of the PMR stamps can be used in exhibitions. But I don't care much for rules and regulations. I'm not a dealer and I have never exhibited. I spend my money as I choose and collect what I want. I generally find the world of "formal" philately to be a very closed shop full of grey old men who bring a new defininition to the word snobbery. Here in Ireland, people look at me blankly when I tell them about my projects. They wonder why anyone would be prepared to waste their time researching material from such places. I say because it's new and undiscovered territory.... are you not interested in new things ? The answer is "no... only old, safe, conservative things". Each to his own. End of sermon Regards, Niall |

Hello Pierre, good to see you are up and about. Here in the West of Australia we have "daylight savings" this saves the curtains in our windows from becoming faded by too much sunlight. So we have set our clocks 1 hour forward, which means I get to kick that "serial sleeper" lazybones person who claims to be my son, out of the sack 1 hour early every morning. Would that explain it? snipped Daylight Saving Information Daylight saving was introduced in Western Australia for a three-year trial period starting December 2006. The three-year trial gives Western Australians an opportunity to "try before they buy". A referendum will be held in 2009 to decide whether it should become permanent. Daylight saving starts at 2am Western Standard Time on the last Sunday in October, and ends at 2am Western Standard Time (3am summer time) on the last Sunday in March the following year. Third Trial Period Dates 2008/2009 Starts: 26 October 2008 ..... Set clocks forward one hour Ends: 29 March 2009 ..... Set clocks back one hour Note: Daylight saving in Victoria, Tasmania, ACT, New South Wales and South Australia starts the first Sunday of October and ends the first Sunday in April the following year.

Well understood now ! Excellent explanation. I particularly appreciated this sentence : [the] "serial sleeper" lazybones person who claims to be my son :-D -- Pierre |

"Pierre COURTIADE" I particularly appreciated this sentence : [the] "serial sleeper" lazybones person who claims to be my son Apparently a common observation amongst the species. This is a tolerable affliction. The grunting stage, with the monotone "whatever" was challenging. Curiously, I do not recollect myself having any of these traits, as I recall, I was the perfect child. |

Rodney, you forgot about how Daylight Saving confuses the cows, so
that they don't know when to come in to be milked ... Tony rodney wrote: Hello Pierre, good to see you are up and about. Here in the West of Australia we have "daylight savings" this saves the curtains in our windows from becoming faded by too much sunlight. |

"Asia-translation" Rodney, you forgot about how Daylight Saving confuses the cows, so that they don't know when to come in to be milked ... Tony Well that's true, it serves as a great excuse for getting home late too. Someone piped up at question time at our stamp club recently wanting to know when someone was going to adjust the clock. I was happily enjoying myself at 8:30pm, when it was really 9:30. I had to rush home and apologise, and kneel to the wife. |

INMHO, FWIW, which is miniscule, Just a bunch of hogwash and serves no useful purpose. Here in the USA not all States fell into the DST system and in one State part was DST and the other part not DST. This has been corrected being that the Time Zone line was shifted a bit.

Daylight Saving Time!
INMHO, FWIW, which is miniscule, Just a bunch of hogwash and serves no useful purpose. I'm reminded of Craig Ferguson's observations at the close of this season's Daylight Savings Time: "Don't *stop* it! It's the only savings most Americans have left!"
