A normal person would dispose of them and
spend a dollar to buy a new marker. There-
fore, you are NOT normal.....

I think it's abnormal to want to throw everything away the minute
there's the slightest problem..


Slightest problem? A sharpie is dried out and useless. Sort of like a
burnt out lightbulb being a slight problem.

You don't fix light bulbs? Wasteful!

A 3 pack of sharpies is ~ $2. And a 12 pack ~ $7. How much effort
should go into the project of attempting to renew a sharpie?

Hours, after spending a day asking how to restore them on the Usenet,
obviously.
