Done. As a parable, the British used to sell and later even tried to subsidize the manufacture of India paper, light weight and very opaque. (No bleed=through) Printers in America (and others)shopped for the ever cheaper alternatives to shave a few cents off publishing costs. Now we have vastly inferior, yellowing and tanic acid laden paper because in the 1980's the plant that used to shred the rag and hemp fibers was demolished due to lack of revenue. New efforts at even approaching that paper quality are premium priced. Sometimes an educated purchasing decision is warranted, and that applies to British gun making quality, I think. We have to make up our minds to pay a bit more for our own good and the good of the industry, although there is room for debate about what is a reasonable scale concerning "a bit more." Steve To expect a concept of "future" to intrude on any business model focused on profit is an idle dream doomed to disappointment. have another day Dr.WtS

Doctor, it's not as bad as it seems. A thousand years of "futures" built an European collective into a laudable Western Civilization, with colonizing immigrants to North America surpassing the old in many respects---all focussed on profit one way or another.
