Maybe I have not made myself clear...I do see a use for all types of pens and mechanical pencils...especially within the workplace environment.....

I no longer work so I prefer to use Fountain pens but if I did work I would use Rollerball pens and Gel writers in the workplace. Then in my personal life I would carry and use Fountain pens which give me great satisfaction. I also still use mechanical pencils when drafting Landscape Designs for friends and occasional clients.....

Mechanical pencils whether for Drafting Designs(I use mechanical pencils holding 2mm diameter graphite lead)purposes or for writing notes to the production floor in a factory. Pencils do have their uses...they are far superior to ink when used around water or in direct sunlight in greenhouses.....

The main point is there is no one right way to use and own only one type of writing instrument. They all have their distinct purposes and everyone is allowed to make their own choices!!!

Take care.....Leo
