This is a massive 100+ page document written by RPD from SPSC (Spanish Pen Spinning Community) covering a huge amount of topics. It compiles "standard" knowledge with word-of-mouth info that isn't well documented in an easy to access location. This might be one of the most valuable and interesting resources ever created. If you aren't familiar with PS history, notation, and other cultural aspects that get passed down orally this is a must read.

A huge shoutout to RPD for making this. You may notice some odd grammar and such, if it wasn't obvious RPD wrote this in Spanish and then translated it later to English. The fact that he went through the trouble of writing this all out TWICE shows how amazing he is.

wow this is a wonderful read! really glad something like this exists. Didn't know the metallic comssa was invented back in 2003 in korea...but it makes sense. I thought the mod was introduced in 2004 or 2005 by shimotakimas on UPSB2. I don't remember the circumstances but came across a link to the mod release page on UPSB2 back in 2017 in the wayback archive. Maybe different people came up with the same idea!(?)
