Dear ANS Pen Thief,

I forgive you because that was a really great pen and I would consider nicking it, too, if I weren't the one who had passed it around with the sign-in sheet. Your questionable conduct can be overlooked on the grounds of:

1. Your fine taste in pens

2. It's snowing and this purifying precipitation is washing away my grudge

3. You are effectively aiding my efforts to quit hoarding G2-07s.
