I've also had sources that has been underlined in obviously modern timesI lways enjoy blaming well known, old and dead historians which I know has written about the subject.
But with a pencil, it doesn't have to be modern-modern. I've had 1790's sources written in pencil, and in my current source material there are underlinings and strike-outs with pencil. But i'm guessing that they are from 1840. Scribbling on a twenty year old document feels alot more acceptable :)
