LOBBY LIST: AMERICA - 11DEC07

The discussion has recently been about SPEED & SALES
and here´s the old suggested solution: MORE CATEGORIES
by El Gringo & Others.

The Lobbers: - Where to look for Br. Virgin Islands?

The Librarian: - At Great Britain Colonies or West Indies or use the search engine and search for:

Virgin Islands but skip "Br." and "British"
or try:
Britse Maagdeneilanden
Brittiläiset Neitsytsaaret
Iles Vierges britanniques
Britische Jungferninseln
Βρετανικές Παρθένοι Νήσοι
Brit Virgin-szigetek
Isole Vergini britanniche
Ilhas Virgens Britânicas
Islas Vírgenes Británicas
Brittiska Jungfruöarna
Wyspy Dziewicze but skip Brytyjskie
Вирджинские острова but skip Брит.

and just in case try الجزر العذراء البريطانية
so you wont miss anything.

But if you don´t have any luck You can always
try to do some misspelling as some spell like s--t... Got it?

The Lobbers: - no problem;
--------------------------------------------------------------

THREE steps for to reach faster result can be more:

1nd: Missing countries
2nd: Countries/more specialities
3nd: Countries/Super-specialized

Starting with step 3 will not make the solution as history tells
it has recently only brought four or five Countries/Superspecialized
while the rest is growing into large haystacks.

Further it would be nice to have the new categories announced
officially by Delcampe so we all can do our part by sorting it up.

Then a consequent method for listing "Colonies"

"Colonies-ALIVE"
under Continent and in aphabetic order.

Example: Mozambique can today be found at:
1.) Mozambique and
2.) Portugal/Colonies & territories/Mozambique

Suggestion:
Mozambique (years of pre-independency)/Cancelled
Mozambique (years of pre-independency)/Mint

Mozambique (year of independency - )/Cancelled
Mozambique ( year of independency- )/Mint
Very easy to find this info in any stamp catalogue

"Colonies-DEAD"
under respective "Patron"
The rest under respective Continent in alphabetic order

Example: Madeira and Faroe Islands as STAMP-COUNTRIES
in EUROPE and not under the patronage of Denmark and Portugal
(Questions like levels of independence for the postal administations
is not the issue here and can be discussed at another place.

(Yes Åland has a independent postal administation but Madeira not)

Well, it was not about Europe and Africa
