Hee hee! Ok, a more measured response to Ed W and Les: So I'm not about to blow a gasket, but so many otherwise good folks are getting bent all out of shape over the issue of the "forever" stamps. It just isn't all that hard to understand, and THAT'S what I don't understand. Sigh. OK, I'm off my high horse now. I think I need a drink. Thanks for your well-considered replies. :P
