OK, I confess...I'm not going to read all 17 pages of this, but I have one question that may or may not have been answered in the 17 pages....What kind of ink pen was it? Ball-point, roller-ball, felt. Also the brand-name might be helpful to keep others from making the same mistake. Whatever brand/type it was, I sure don't want to use it. Thanks for any detailed info you can give us.
