We recently ran an article about the demise of NAGASA.  At one time this organization had almost 400 member companies, representing billions in graphic arts sales to the industry’s printers.  It was the only non-commercial forum where the supply chain that serves this industry could be analyzed and where channel conflicts might be aired and resolved.

So, after more than 25 years of industry meetings, newsletters and studies from this industry association, you’d think there would be some pent-up interest concerning its sudden demise.  Surprisingly, though, only two of our readers chose to write to us.  Probably the record for other articles is six replies.  Yet, walking the aisles of Graph Expo, both of us were amazed at how many acquaintances stopped us to indicate that they had read that article, commented on historical issues or points we made, and indicated that they often read our work.

We Know You’re Out There...
