Steve, it's understandable after this aversive experience how your interest in pens would be dampened to say the least. After all, we know how "kind" kids can be. While you'll probably always remember that incident, we are glad you rebounded with a contagious zeal for writing instruments. It comes across clearly in your posts. And not to worry, what goes around, comes around and who knows what kind of life that little juvenile delinquent went on to live? But of all the pens to destroy - a Pelikan demonstrator?! Ouch! The addition of this subforum was a wonderful idea. I have a feeling you'll be sharing many more of your acquisitions over time.
