WH904,
A good post but I, for one, am not so sure that the 'net' will destroy aerospace print publishing.
Of course it will never be as it was in its heyday but I do feel a profitable symbiotic relationship is possible.
Our publisher used to stress upon us that the three key words to survival in a changing environment were... 'Adapt, Adapt and Adapt' - and if that means getting into bed with the opposition, then so be it.
Interesting times indeed - but that doesn't mean we have to 'strike our colours' in panic. As with water, things will find their own level and a proper balance will be arrived at.
With good people like yourself in the 'wheelhouse', I'm confident that will come about without having to unduly compromise standards.
Cheers.
