When I started collecting pens a large proportion of my collection came from Pentrace and so did much of my knowledge. Now so much of this action has moved to Facebook groups, including Pentrace on Facebook, and this has also broadened the audience with groups specialised in types of writing instruments, in brands, in countries. It is much easier to post on Facebook and to address these different audiences. Of course the downside is the loss of a club camaraderie Pentrace provided. And Facebook is open to people you may not want to get responding!
