People just don’t realize how much it costs to lose mail and deliver to the wrong address.

Not a good idea to insult and rile up us older FReepers (I was born in 1946). Just sayin'.

I used to collect stamps when I wasn't running my Lionel trains or putting together models of the Snark and the B-58 Hustler.

What years were 2 cent stamps used? When World War I ended at the end of 1918, the rate was lowered to its pre-War level of one cent. Postage was raised briefly from 1 cent to 2 cents in 1917-1919 and in 1925-1928; the conclusive raise to 2 cents was in 1951.
