Hahaha - it took a person who has English as a second language to explain the difference!

I would think your level of control would be dependent on what the stamps contained? and what they are used for? Do you have stamps with signatures? or for approving things? (like approving an inspection) If so, you may want to create an ID # for each stamp and create a log as to who has which stamp (and who's responsibility it is to control their stamp).
Back in our old days of hardcopy document control, we had a system something like what AndyN said above. Our stamps were simply "Controlled Copy", "Uncontrolled Copy", "Draft", "Copy", and a big old "Obsolete" stamp. We didn't create ID #'s for those as they are fairly basic stamps.

EDIT: Regarding AS9100
I know this is half a year old but I was looking around for information regarding stamps and no one has mentioned the clause in 7.5.3:
"When acceptance authority media are used (e.g., stamps, electronic signatures, passwords), the organization shall establish appropriate controls for the media."
Doesn't this pretty much cover all stamps utilized i.e. stamping a drawing as the "Original" is accepting or authorizing that drawing as the original one?

It depends on which standard you are satisfying. ISO 9100, ANSI/NCLS Z540-1994 ect.

what kind of stamps are they. do they indicate "who" performed a function or are they like a "Skipped operation Stamp", "Date/Time In/Out of furnace stamp"
if they signify a single operator, the easiest way to control them is through a log where the number is matched to a name. you can even have a portion in the log that identifies what the authority and responsibilities are of the owner of the stamp.
if it is a stamp that is used by multiple people to show something has been done (i.e. into oven stamp) then you simply need a description of the stamp in the traceability section of your QSM.

does your procedure call out a process for use of stamps being left at home, (not lost) only not in the office?
The post you quoted is 12 years old and the person who posted it is no longer a registered user. I suggest that you start a new thread with your question.
