[...]Any people, places, forums I should check out? Who'd want to hear my ideas and preferences and give practical feedback?
A little longer would be better.
At least it should be on the table.
I realized, a few hours after my previous post, that I had made an error. I tried editing the post to include this addendum, but the time for editing a post passed. This is what I intended to add, early in that post, about the Victorinox refills:[I REALIZED, AFTER INITIALLY POSTING THIS, THAT I WAS INCORRECT ABOUT THIS. The 58mm and 91mm Victorinox refills are different lengths and the 58mm is clearly shorter than the general-industry "mini" stick-like refill. The 91mm plus-scales refill is the same size as that Monblanc/Lamy/general-industry mini, but because of Victorinox's plastic piece at the end to integrate into the scale, I don't know if they are identical refills. I realized this as I was taking a picture of a bunch of refills and pens. In my next post, I'll include that image, as well as plenty of other wish-I-was-getting-paid-by-the-word-for-this stuff.]
