...I purchased a box of blank "shorts" and this was in the mix! I did not use the clip on this Caballero from Smitty. The blank looked good but as I turned it I noticed a hole clear down to the tube near one end on the upper section, hmmmm. A opportunity has been presented and I opted to include a Swarovski Crystal! Be well.....Jan

That's a cool idea. And a real conversation starter. I can see people asking about the crystal. Maybe lead to a few sales.

A Very Colourful Pen, Jan,
Great Idea, to hide the void with the Crystal.
Excellent, Fit and Finish.
Congratulations,

Not a flaw, it's a feature!
By the way, this phrase comes from an early Microsoft press release, where someone had complained about a bug in an early version of Windows. Microsoft replied "That's not a flaw, it's a feature." It has become a catchphrase in the industry.

Actually, Sharon, the first use seems to be from Usenet in '84. From Wikipedia (THE most accurate journal in the world :wink
: In other cases, software bugs are referred to jokingly as undocumented features. ("It's not a bug; it's an undocumented feature!") [2] This usage may have been popularised in some of Microsoft's responses to bug reports for its first Word for Windows product,[3] but doesn't originate there. The oldest surviving reference on Usenet (https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!original/net.bugs.uucp/8-6IxzIxeZQ/2oKU6_gX9kwJ) dates to 5 March 1984.[4] Between 1969 and 1972, Sandy Mathes, a systems programmer for PDP-8 software at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in Maynard, MA, used the terms "bug" and "feature" in her reporting of test results to distinguish between undocumented actions of delivered software products that were unacceptable and tolerable, respectively. This usage may have been perpetuated.[5]
