"afewgoodpens", is one of the best i've ever read. Inteligent, sophisticated and provocative enough to entertain as well as inform. I will continue reading and will pass on the site to others. A few good pens was worthy of my attention and should be read by everyone. You are a thoughtful author. Please keep writing, thinking and sharing.
