Len,

I hope you are well. I appreciate info on the domain, etc. As I explained in my initial post, it was a question that came from a member on another forum.

As the days move on, as the audience ages, one has to start thinking about the time and effort maintaining something whose time may have passed. If having a handful of posts a month is enough for you to keep up your efforts, then more power to you. I say this not in a bitter manner, more wistful than anything. Even while the fountain pen world grows in new ways, many of which seem unknown to members here, the area of written, online dedicated forums continues to shrink. The kids have moved elsewhere, as they say, and it always makes me sad when you put out a plea for 'more content' and, of course, it doesn't happen.

I'm in another group that hung together not so much out of pens as for the relationships that had formed. I think I see that here, as well, though I'm not an old enough member to have been a part of that history. If that is why the boards will continues to exist, that is a fine thing. We need our friends more than ever.

Best wishes to you, Len, always.

Regards,
Jon
