Profile Whiteboard
(Preview)
Did you know, that in your profile there is a 'whiteboard' that acts something like a 2 person chat board. You can jot quick messages back and forth. The only drawback is they have to think to check their whiteboard.

Sub-group Title.
(Preview)
Might I suggest that the sub-group presently titled "English Pens" be re-named "British Pens"? While it is true that the bulk of pen manufacture was based in England, some took place in other parts of Britain as well.
