Years ago I was a "Quotations Specialist". [. . .]Block Diagrams[. . .]
I could Quote to $20K on my word, to $200K checked by the boss, and $2M
checked by the boss+prez. All done using a self feeding pre-leaded auto
pencil aka a "sharpie", with an eraser on the end.
It sounds like *your* Sharpie was erasable. This is what most folks mean
when they say "Sharpie": http://www.google.com/images?q=Sharpie
(Felt-tip; permanent ink.)
My strategy worked well, it helped to increase sales, because customers
like pictures, especially with doddlates...a picture is worth a 1000
words.
