== Twitter Feedback ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, Jonathan's email echoes a lot of the what can only be called abuse that me and you receive on Twitter on a daily basis.

'''Guest:''' Yeah, that's why I wanted to do it because we get a lot of this and it's like I blame you. It's your fault. It's all in good fun and we think it's pretty hilarious.

'''Guest:''' It's actually been ramping up on Twitter. We've been getting a lot here in this past – I'd say the past week. It's been something. A lot of fountain pen buyers, first-time fountain pen buyers, things like that. So it's always fun to get emails and tweets like that. So we appreciate it. Keep them coming because I got a good laugh out of that one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Indeed. Yeah, I mean I always enjoy it. Sometimes I don't get involved in the conversations because sometimes I will come to Twitter and there will be like 20 – there's a massive conversation I'm involved in. And usually I know that people tweet to us but most of the time if they get your advice, they don't need mine is the way that I look at it. And if you haven't responded to something, then I will try. But I figure the best advice that can be given to someone is yours because you know more about this than me at the moment. Although I am – I'm out to get you.

'''Guest:''' Oh, yeah. There's no doubt.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But I always read them. I always read the conversations. I love seeing – this is what I – I always say this but the main thing I love about this show is I feel that we've got a little community based around it. And I love that so much. Like there are a few sort of frequent people that we talk to but people are always getting involved. And that's what I really love about this show is that there is like a real strong community of people built up around it. And I don't have that specifically with any other show. But, you know, like people talk about the field, about even necessarily referencing the show sometimes. And I really – that's what I love about this show and why it's easily one of my very, very favorites to do. And I'm always – I will want to do this show forever as long as you will accept that.

'''Guest:''' Absolutely. Yeah. We say it almost every episode. I have so much fun doing this and I always look forward to it. And the conversations we have outside of the show, you know, in Twitter or email and stuff like that are – you know, they're just fun. Everyone, you know, everyone's really passionate about these things. And even people who have zero experience with it, they're like, well, this sounds really interesting and I want to learn more. And they're asking questions and we're obviously open to answering them. And heck, half the time the people that follow us and, you know, read the blog and follow us on Twitter, they're jumping in, you know, with their opinions too. It's a good way to get feedback on lots of things and lots of answers to lots of questions. And I pose questions all the time too. And, you know, I've always got someone that's following that's able to answer me pretty quickly. So it's fun for sure.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And 45 episodes in and we've still got loads to talk about.

'''Guest:''' Oh, yeah. It's never ending.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I know that's something you were worried about initially, weren't you, that we wouldn't have enough to talk about.

'''Guest:''' Yeah. I mean I do worry about that still. I was actually worrying about that today. It's like if I didn't have this topic today already prepped, what would we talk about? And I think we could probably just put a blank piece of paper on the screen and we'd be okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Because we're enthusiastic and we are enthusiasts, I think that there is more than enough to talk about. Right.
