Done.
“Rules..” hmm. “not everyone is worthy”? Grimaces, shakes head.
When I say “not everyone is worthy”, I mean that some people just aren’t notebook people. My older brother for example is not a notebook person, but my little brother and his friend, which I recruited to using the Moleksine name, are. Status does not declare if one can use a Moleskine or not. I simply meant some people don’t like keeping notebook. And these aren’t rules, simply just little things I picked up while using my Moleskine and observing others use theirs. Hopefully with this enlightenment you will no longer be grimacing aor shaking your head.

Whoa, I printed this post out and placed it neatly in my notebook so that I shall always have a set of well planned, universal suggestive guidelines to aid me in my times of need. Thank you so much…
No problem what so ever. I’m glad you appreciate them!
Adam, you’re a jedi in the world of moleskines. Well done my friend.
I try my best to offer fellow Moleskine users a clear and fun path to using their notebook. I am grateful for what they(moda&moda) have given me, and I am giving back. Im a big nerd.

…Seriously now, Blogmaster Adam, what on Earth would I have done had this life-saver of a post not come along? To think that I had given up on my search for the elusive Perfect Pen and resorted to the use of crayons for so long, is simply crushing to me — and I will most certainly never again allow anyone to thumb through my notebook, risking the possible discovery of my innermost secrets by prying eyes. Oh Lord, all those pages so carelessly ripped out by my monstrous hands, if I only had them back today, I would make it up to them by filling them with carefully planned and well thought out doodles. I have been saved, redeemed and transported by gentle mists to the Realm of ‘Skine
Wow, I wouldn’t have posted these suggestions if I knew I was going to get some sarcasm in return. Congradulations!
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. To each his own, some folks took your post for what it was; the ramblings of a moleskine obsessed blogger.
Post more.
