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.

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.
