Several different retailers in the US, and Yafa, have been reported as declaring Delta definitely kaput since about mid-September. Absolutely no-one's come forward to disagree. I wonder if there's anybody left at Delta to make it any more official?

I haven't read (and won't read) all the posts in this thread, but there is clearly vitriolic and even belligerence (not to mention ethnically prejudiced remarks) against Delta -- which somehow suddenly represents, for these arrogant and hypocritical commenters, all things Italian. The illogic of these comments continues by suggesting that other Italian producers (even those in the automotive industry, one of the most remarkable success stories in the post WW II world) suddenly loom as suspect because they 'price themselves out of the market' by being superior to the junk imported from Asia which floods the pen and car market: disposable pieces of flim-flam that last a year if a month and look as cheap as they are made, almost all unorignal knock-offs of what Europeans -- especially Italians -- have been doing in these fields for a century. Then Americans looking for a bargain scoop the imported junk up like crumbs from Lazarus' table and complain that Italian pen companies are at fault when they 'go under' because they cannot adapt to the mediocrity of American taste.
A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.
You haven't read the thread.
However, you are angry because you feel that Italians have been unfairly maligned with a reductive and blanket condemnation.
But then your reaction is to then tar and feather all Asians (& heads up: Asian cultures are as different as varied as those found in Europe) and bad mouth all Americans with some offensive, trival and cartoonish characterization.
That is stupid pot meets kettle BS, knee-jerk tribalism (w/ hints of bigotry) and generally useless and unhelpful.
And here you could have contributed meaningfully.
