Me too. I get letters a couple of times a year from relations in Australia. Yet I seldom write back.
I love my fountain pen and my writing is much better when I use it.

i got a lovely letter a few weeks ago from a friend in america ,it was years before that since i got any letters .
The few cheques I get in the post, or oficial things for the kids from school, then I use a pen, other than that, I just touch-type.
I gave up on pens a long time ago... then again, my handwriting is atrocious

I know email is so much quicker but there is nothing like getting a handwritten letter.

I never use email unless I have to...
I just either use a message board, IM or texting on my mobile

Yes, but now they're on Live Messenger, i.e. MSN.
At this stage, if someone tells me they don't have MSN but wants to talk thru writing letters, Im suspicious.

Brilliant idea
I always use a parker or cross pen, blue medium nib. I used to write with a fountain pen!
I think the art of hand writing is a dying talent
Oh well...............Such is life.........
Fountain pens are IT. I love writing with them. If only I didn't keep losing them!
I never thought I'd see a forum thread on a topic as mundane as fountain pens!
