Moving Forward
Quite by accident, I discovered a cadre of folks who photograph stamps and post them to personal blogs. A British woman posts themes for the week and folks from all over the world participate.
Stamps today have self adhesive backs so how do you affix them in an album? First, it's important to note that the postal authorities turned away from collectors when they spurned glue.
According to one site I checked, the collector must separate a single unused stamp without disturbing its backing.
If, however, you receive a letter with a self-adhesive stamp issued after 2004 it's problematic. The answer—don't bother attempting to remove the stamp from the envelope. Just cut the stamp out of the envelope "making a tiny paper margin around the outside edges of the stamp".
You can't rant against change—just accommodate reality. No reconciliation and risk dinosaur status.
