    I'll go for that one again.. But not instead of a new one. I'll pass gladly.
    I think I can give more then I did this time.. Even though I don't know which continent I really belong to

    I'd love to test. I'm in Scotland, four seasons in a day, or sometimes hour.

    Ilan, it is a little controversial, but I'm going with it. I know the matter is not totally settled, and a good argument could be made a different way. However, I have appointed myself the official MI Continents Plenipotentiary. (You'll remember that MI5 was the Peace, Love and Understanding edition of MI. But this is the Laura Has Absolute Power and Exercises it Madly edition.)

    And to be fair, I didn't put you in Antarctica.

    I'm passing but wanted to say thank you cob for keeping MI going. I think MI 7 should be called after the new Mission Impossible movie. Tom cruise hangs onto a plane.

    Nope. He hung onto a building. This time it's a plane.

    I'll see if I can find it again. I'm not sure it was a big response and... well, it's a different sort of "brain trust" over there.

    Ok, about Mr. Antarctica: I've dropped him a message to see if he'd be interested. I am not *entirely* certain if he is located there at the moment, but we'll know if he writes back. The responses for pens were a bit disappointing, but not unexpected. You can view the thread here.

    Love to be back to try out MI6.

    I must say that the ink threads on fpg have brought a further level of appreciation to my pen use. Thank you all.

    I could do high altitude testing in Colorado lol. Be glad to help test since I tend to put my inks through a 'check wash' simulation before I settle on them.

    MI-ology is a new area of study - it involves artistic critique, science theorising, social science analysis and psychological assessment.

    I've tested MIs on 2 continents (Europe & Australia) so will opt out and let others play with this one. Can't wait to read all about it though.

    Ah, I think I may have misunderstood the rules. If by some chance I was picked out of the hat I was just going to write with it. Didn't know you had to do all this science stuff. My bad. I think I should withdraw my name under the circumstances.

    Good luck everyone else. I'll watch with interest.

    I think you misinterpreted my post. I was teasing. There are no "rules". You try the MI any way you want to. Just writing is as good as anything else.
