    Let's do a survey!

    "Do you have arthritis?"'

    Make it on every pen spinning board.

    Uh, no. Do some research, and you will realize how pointless a survey on arthritis would be for the penspinning community.

    Other than frequent movement of the joint, another factor is important too. Age that is. There is little risk until one is about 40 or so. I've yet to know any cases of arthritis in young people. So when most members of pen spinning forums are young people, your so-called survery will be extremely inaccurate.

    i have arthritis - i am one of the oldest members of this community at 27 but i'm far from 40!
    with the type of arthritis i have pen spinning is sometimes impossible, or at least very painful, but i actually have to keep my joints moving so pen spinning is medicinal.
    this is not the case with rheumatoid arthritis - which is the 'old people's' arthritis most of you're thinking of.

    I did realise that it may be said in a joking manner, but you didn't use emoticons to make it appears so, that's why I...
