Thanks jaeger. 93 looks and not even one comment. I am getting the feeling if I am not in the circle my posts are ignored and my pics get no comments and one like. I am wasting my time with this forum as due to my not being healthy enough to contribute a lot of pens my stuff is looked over. Sounds right to me. I will not post anymore and save myself some grief from my caring about this forum. Thanks anyway.
Mike,
I know what you mean and I end up not posting a lot of photos as well. With that said I think your photos are still an important contribution to the forum. Try to look at it this way, over 90 people that really enjoy making pens were given the opportunity to see your new pens and admire the work. Lets face it, some of the pens shown here on this forum are simply, off the charts. I can guarantee you that if you would have said, I can't figure something out on this component set, you would have probably had 90 responses. That in my opinion is what makes this forum "go round."
A lot of people are taking a few seconds to look at these pens and moving on to the next post because they are trying to absorb the daily contributions and don't want to miss anything. I can look at your baron for 5 seconds and think to myself, COOL I like the color combinations, I like the clip placement and I really like the way the blank was orientated with the components. As far as the flaming box elder, we all know it's killer.
As far as responses, I thought the "like" button was going to be a great addition, but I see it used more and more on just the high end or very unique pens and I think that is not how it was intended. I believe it was intended as a quick "nice pen, thanks for showing" kind of option.
Thanks for taking the time to show us your pens Mike!
