...So I won't. I took the entries to a bunch of work mates that have never used a fountain pen and asked them which post got them most interested in fountain pens. As this was the original premise of this third giveaway, I thought it best.

Winner of the third of seven Oriental pen rugs is:

Faith - Taffy Abernathy

for best convincing reason to write with a fountain pen.

Honorable mention for BEST LINKAGE TO WATCHES:

Dave - Daveathall
