Not that this is really a question; I stumbled across the following site while doing some research recently and was very impressed with the content and the presentation. I also thought it would be a good primer in the 'Fundamentals' thread. I'm sure a lot of seasoned collectors will find it interesting as well, so here is "Postmarks and Cancellations, an Overview...from the Hamilton Township Philatelic Society. I think it's worth a look.
