Thanks for stopping by!
Wondering what the heck Zoss is? http://www.zoss.com/ [1] and http://www.zoss.com/pens.htm [2]
Here is some info from the Zoss site:
"My list is maintained for people interested in all aspects of fountain pens, especially collecting vintage ones although modern pens and limited editions are also frequently discussed. We also branch into associated topics such as ink, paper, accessories, pen conventions, etc. These threads do not go too long, however, because I like to keep pretty close to home. The list is free and the subscription list is growing with over 1600 subscribers.
The idea is fairly simple. The list is like a "party line" of e-mail messages. An individual sends a message to the list address and then the software sends a copy to each subscriber on the list. Subscribers can then read the message, reply to the whole list or, if the message is personal or the beginning of one-on-one negotiations to buy or sell, reply directly to the individual who originated the message."
