Now you expect members to sound off about the lack of stamping? Some members do not invest in a stamp pad and stamp sending the notes out as stealth bills. Now with the exception to you as stamp monitor simply receive these bills and take the hit. Now seasoned members who have stamps will stamp the stealth and send it back out I gave away many stamps over the years with the last two extras sent out to Movie-fan Now at the price of stamps and ink I understand why they do not invest in them. OVER THE YEARS the fact that as trackers we stamped our money, put the whole purpose of DR's prime objective out of whack. Rudy and I had very different views on this and after many years I began to agree with him on his view of the Prime Directive
being the following of money. VS. my idea that the site was a Game with teams, scores, levels etc. how could it be anything but a game. Both were sound theories however in the end skewing the results by stamping the bills
pointed it to be a game. Now you as the self proclaim
Stealth Police have decided that stamping ones bills is the right thing to do and you will point out all those you find unstamped. For those who enter fifty notes a month or less stamping will not be that time consuming but for those who enter far more than 50 bills a month stamping becomes very time consuming. Look at my stamping history over the years when I first started my hit Dad sent me to purchase stamps one for the front and one for the back and for years all my bilks went out stamped on both sides, and for special occasions I had special stamps, then the bills changed and special ink was required and self inking stamps became a pain, stamping changed from two sides to one with many bills having smeared stamps. Cleaning off smeared markings became very time consuming and stamping became a real mess. Now over the years things have been changed to allow clear stamping. However these changes made stamping very time consuming so I have toned down my stamping to less than 10%
of my entries and even at ten percent I probably stamp more bills a year than 98% of any other trackers.
