As someone who desires to cooperate with the rules of the forum, I have a question. How are we supposed to know when Montblanc has officially released a given product and ended the embargo on discussion about it? The publication of a catalog that is accessible to boutique customers apparently does not qualify. The Montblanc web site is not helpful in this regard. To my knowledge, there is no readily available listing of officially released Montblanc products (or their dates of release). Montblanc products are often available in some locations long before becoming available in others. Is it permissible for those who live in an area where the product has been released to discuss it, but not those who live elsewhere? Or must everyone defer discussion until the product is available everywhere? In the case of LE inks, the product might be sold out before this happens. Again, how would we know? Who is going to risk being the first to say anything, at the risk of losing his or her FPN account? I hope that in the promised April meeting, FPN not only will express its eagerness to enforce the embargo, but also will beg Montblanc to inform us what their criteria are for considering their products officially released, and to find a way to inform their customers when it is allowed to speak about them without fear of reprisal.
