Woah! Where did all *this* come from!
Dropped in because I didn't get Pennant for summer & now fall issue. Was wondering if everything OK.
Evidently it is not.
Me likes Procyon's idea. Burn pens & collect exciting underwear worn by Hollywood stars.
WTB: Lauren Bacall's nylons.
And by the way, I hate everyone but Allen & Dr. Isaacson. They were the only two members who replied to my last question about a Waterman 12 in f.s.

Dear Mr. David Nishimura,
Thank you for all the help you've given me over the years. But really. You need to drop what you are doing and pay attention to me! Want to know about silver overlay pens and any information you might have about nylons.
Especially black ones. I want to join the Black Nylons Society. Believe Lady Gaga is Grand Gam but she hasn't replied to my phone calls and e-mails.
I did get a restraining order from Judge Judy. I suspect Judge Judy is also a member of the Black Nylons club.
If you can help, please reply and I promise not to hate you anymore. I will put away the voodoo doll and remove the Falcon nibs sticking in it.
Thank you for your time and attention in reading this letter.
Sincerely;
Bruce Bocquin
Aspirant, Black Nylons Club (and former Waterman pen enthusiast)
Windcrest, Texas

Meanwhile I do have a large number of very rare and expensive catalogs featuring naughty underwear from the 1940's.
It's been suggested I allow someone to digitize these tomes and put them on the net for free.
What the devil would I want to do that for?
These things cost money. If they're free, what's to stop some schmuck from copying them, burning them onto CD-ROM and then selling them on eBay for 10 bucks a hit?
Hi-Fi Engine has owner & service manuals available to anyone who signs up. Or... If you want to waste money, you can also buy the same manuals where someone has hacked the PDF security password, deleted the first page that reads, "Hi-Fi Engine" and is selling them for...
You guessed it! Ten bucks a pop!
So why would I want to donate anything when someone is going to come along, download it for free, and then make money off my investment? And legally speaking, can't prove a thing so there's nothing I can do about it!
