Wasted rant deleted!!!

 

The Reality Show is a riveting result of 23% being illiterate, and 60% reading at a 6th grade or lower level.

Once a bartender, always a bartender.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

By "It stinks" are you referring to its actual smell or to its performance as an ink?

Actual smell, sorry!  Great ink! Oops!

That's been my experience with it, too.  Very good ink, but has an odor some don't like too much.  I don't remember it having that odor in the old days, 10 or more years ago.  I wonder whether there was a reformulation of it.  Anyway, it's my daily black ink.

The black is nice and dark. It even works well without Gum Arabic right out of the bottle for a dip pen with a broad-edge nib for Italic on good paper.
