having used grease pencils before, no thanks, due to the remainder of greasy paper you unwind as you use it.

They aren't suggesting using a grease pencil as a better alternative to a graphite pencil, they are saying that the Russian cosmonauts used grease pencils before moving to a pressurized pen.

You don't need to say "no thanks" to it, no one is suggesting using it. The first comment was ambiguous, but your response to this one is just baffling.
