Scott - This is a great blog with a ton of fantastic content. It would be really helpful, however, if with your commentary you could provide a link to the primary source that you are reflecting on, so those of us who are less familiar with the topic can dig deeper. Thanks for the great commentary!
Most of the documentation in this blog is original research. The blog prides itself on reporting on many issues before they are known to the public. The report attached to your comment, actually, was directly out of a survey conducted by this month's "the Paper Industry Magazine'. Having said this, most of the information had been reported in our past releases - this just made it 'official'.
