I don't think there is any mailing list or newsgroup that focuses on 
stereoview collecting per se, though there are collecting groups on 
USENET.  However, I think that there are plenty of people here who 
are collectors of antique views too.  If you're interested in starting 
discussion on antique views, ask!  

[blantant stereotyping follows]
Part of the problem with finding antique view collectors online may stem 
from the fact that serious view collectors tend to be older and thus 
less likely to be online .  

My assumptions on  antique collector demographic are based on my 
experience in Milwaukee last year, and my other (few) other personal 
contacts with other view collectors in the 2 1/2 years I have 
collected.  BTW, I don't fit my own stereotype, I am still under 30 
(barely :) ).
