'Lifting' stamps

I am sooo frustrated when trying to removes stamps from envelopes and packaging - especially when dealing with SOME countries' permanent or forever stamps. I've tried soaking in water, and I've tried a 'stamp lifter' fluid. While the later generally works very well, the adhesive stubbornly remains. The adhesive seems to become even more efficient actually.
Should I just leave these stamps on the backing matrix?.
Cheers, Robert

    Thanks Mike. I knew this was probably discussed before - but I couldn't find it using my title.
