Dearest people,

 

Due to illness of our Admin over the last 5 to 6 weeks, replies to emails and PMs have been delayed by quite a bit. We currently have a backlog of approximately 800 emails and PMs, while admin stuff still has to be done too, although we did manage to keep up with the minimum of activities required to keep the site running.

 

Therefore, apologies for the backlog and the resulting late replies. However, we haven't forgotten you, and neither are we ignoring you. Replies will start arriving after this weekend, it just will take some time to clear the backlog.

 

Warmest regards,

Wim

Most important question:

 

Is Admin (read Wimg), better now??

 

 

Noticed your long absence Wim. Thought you had perhaps been on holidays, but turns out more hospital, sort of....

 

DO watch yourself my friend, We need you here as Admin, and I value you as a friend.

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

Thank you all, your wishes and thoughts are much appreciated.

There have been more delays by a multitude of reasons, but hopefully things will be returning back to normal as of this weekend :).

Hello. This is the only place I could find to post a message to you. I made another donation because my iridium status expired a few days ago, but for some reason my new donation has not been acknowledged. I made it using PayPal on the 20th of September.

 

Thank you for checking into this apparent glitch.

Hi,

I am having the same problem. I also made a donation that is not being acknowledged.

But I was able to send a PM about it - no reaction though. Wim?

It's been a week now, and my donation on the 20th has processed through both PayPal and my checking account, but not here. Where did the money go??

      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
