Even if B&M stores still existed, it would do me little good, because I live in the middle of nowhere, a substantial distance to any city. If it were not for modern conveniences like the internet I would not be able to communicate in anyway but by writing letters. From my point of view the blogs are an invaluable service, as are forums like this one, where I can learn from others and pass on the little snippets that I do know. The information I receive from these source makes it possible for me to order ink, pens and papers by mail order, with a higher degree of confidence than I ever could from catalogs.
