Print is not dead for many of the people who responded here. Face it, you were proven wrong.
I don't know what you do for work, Larry, but I suspect it has something to do with IT. I work in public relations, which gives me the opporutnity to work with advertisers and marketers. If I were to advise any client that print/catalogs are "dead," I would be doing that client a huge disservice, lose all credibility, and could even risk losing my PRSA accreditation.
Unfortunately, I missed your initial post -- the one you changed when Pam appropriately called you on it.
But again, my point is that on-line communications, despite what some people think, is not the be-all end-all. Sure you are entitled to your opinion, but you ahve been proven wrong on this one, as teh many responses here bear out. I'm confident Stephan and his people have a better eye for marketing than you do and will continue with the Defender "wish book." It is welcomed with open arms at our house.
