Pens that provide the write accessory - Times Online
"The Design Museum's director, Deyan Sudjic, wrote years ago in a splendid book on cult objects: "The fountain pen offers rich possibilities as a cult object...pens have about them the basics of a language of social and stylistic ambition, before we have even touched on the hardware itself, which further extends the vocabulary.”"

Makes perfect sense to me!

Very interesting article. It would seem that I jumped the bandwagon just as it was getting crowded, which is quite a coincidence because there are no FP users around me (well, there was one, but I didn't realize until after I started collecting pens)... I only stumbled on this site when I found my old FP in a box and was looking to purchase another... and then I couldn't stop buying more.
