JediNet
"The Jedi Council message forums (organized around a dozen subjects) are a popular feature of this "for the fans, by the fans" site. Other highlights are Evan’s Star Wars Cinema (original short films created with action figures and distributed exclusively online) and the South Park/Star Wars parody titled Star Park. Some families, however, might find either or both of these offensive for their language and slightly-off-center themes."

How to Avoid Common Beginning Mistakes
"The first rule of stamp collecting is: If you collect for fun, you will have lots of it. But if you collect for profit you will have very little profit or fun. This list of ten mistakes to avoid, published by the Junior Philatelists of America, covers all the basics. Mistake number eight says "Some stamps should not be soaked without consulting a more knowledgeable philatelist. Anything on an original cover that is more then 20 or 30 years old might be worth saving." I suffered through this mistake as a young collector when a neighborhood friend soaked my collection of hand-me-down European stamps off their original pre-World War II envelopes. Urghh!"
