THE most important thing I contribute to Exotic Blanks is a true interest in other penmakers. With very rare exception (a commitment to an earlier phone call, not yet completed), I will make time to answer your questions. My answers will not be "shortened". Recently, I asked a customer to call back in an hour and a half, as I HAD to go to the post office---he was VERY happy to do so.
Penturners are, generally, VERY EASY to please.
