answering your questions from my point of view, even though you had asked Terry.

1) Do you care how Debbie, Pam, Jim, etc is going to vote?
Yes I care. I think it is just because I am a caring, loving person.

2) Do you take any offense that they feel, even if they know you or not, that it is ok to impose themselves on you to vote there way?
I do not take offense because I am a caring, loving, nosey person that wants to know what other collectors think.

3) Do you feel at all degraded that they think you are not smart enough to make your own decision?
I do not feel degraded because I am a caring, loving, nosey person that wants to learn more because I will never be smart enough.

4) Do you feel that the lack of creativity in these post cards, all reading basically the same in a cookie cutter approach, just adds to the feeling of stupidity...just in case you didn’t get the message the first time?
I do not feel this adds to my felling of stupidity. When things are basically the same I enjoy the quest of finding the minute differences that then become obvious.

I guess that is why I am a collector.
