The newer people have different ideas from the older people, and the younger people's ideas reflect the changing times. Eventually they will be the old guys, and in their time pen collecting and use will have a different atmosphere. Some of the old knowledge will be lost, and it is probably a good thing, because it opens up the chance for newer people to develop their own approaches to this.
I usually keep to myself, and this probably best, because I think most people's ideas about pens are exotic.
