Hard to know. Each person can only speak for themself.

 

I am none of those things, just a student.

 

The only thing that unites us is that little bit of crazy that allows one to spend 50, 100, 500, 10000 on a pen when a bic costs like 12 cents.

Most users of the fountainpennetwork are Bankers, Lawyers, Doctors, Professors and/or Artists/Writers.

 

Please affirm/deny my claim.

I can be any of those things on the internet.

Clinical research

 

Although I've thought about being a lawyers, doctors, professor, artist, and writer--does that count? :rolleyes:

We are varied. Even those within a profession you single out have specified subcatagories and classifications. What kind of lawyer? What kind of doctor? What kind of family unit? What kind of religion? We all have idiosyncrasies that set us apart.

 

I don't think mass categorizationwill work well with this crowd. I could say that it seems mostly black Catholics are using this forum, and by extention fountain pens, but that would be neither fair nor accurate (not that I am asserting that it is inaccurate either; I just don't know).

I guess this will turn into another occupational thread

The voice of this guitar of mine, at the awakening of the morning, wants to sing its joy;

I sing to your volcanoes, to your meadows and flowers, that are like mementos of the greatest of my loves;

If I am to die away from you, may they say I am sleeping, and bring me back home.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
