Survey: Do you post the cap while writing in fountain pen?

[ko6]

A Japanese fountain pen site conducts a survey whether or not the cap is posted while writing in fountain pen. So far, 22 out of 35 fountain pen users post the cap. I just wonder what percentage of people here do so or not. I would greatly appreciate your reply.

Post about 75% of the time, depends on how much I am writing and how busy I am at the time with other things.

Depends on the pen, and how it's balanced. Lightweight pens, I generally post, and metal ones I don't.

Used to post all my pens until I saw how I was ruining my OMAS Milords and other pens. Without posting I can buy bigger and wider pens like the Ogiva among others. Seldomly I post, only for much smaller pens.

+1 Depends on how it's balanced.

 

For example:

Pelikan M205 I pretty much always post since it's so light and cylindrical.

Stipula Etruria Nuda cap can be posted but (a) makes it top/back heavy and ( can fall off pretty easily (due to the cigar shape) so I usually don't post it.

Sailor 1911 M works great either way for me (which says something cool about this pen, IMHO).

I would have say that I post my fp's about 60% of the time.

[q182645]

I've being used to post the cap all my life.

Sometimes I unpost the cap to make the writing less tiring.

I post the cap about 92.5% of the time.
