I agree Andy, with your assessment of RFID Update. Actually, Will's eletter & RFID Journal's were my two mainstays for "knowledgeable", timely information.

I also turned to the Switchboard & Lou Sirico as experts "in the field". Another is RFID Solutions Online for a good clearinghouse of information.

The key factor for Update & Journal is their timeliness. Since Journal purchased Update - I wonder if we might see a return to daily updates, but regardless - there's enough info out there to drown you.

I appreciate the editorials of Mssrs. Smith, Roberti, Kowl, Sirico and others that provide the balance to the technology. Oh - vendors are preaching their ply as the great answer and the uninformed but in positions of control many times are the agnostics in the crowd -"too expensive, doesn't work reliably, etc.", but you fine gentlemen bring knowledge & reasoning to the discussion and therefore add great value to considering the technology.

No RFID is not an end unto itself. It has to solve problems. Your voices have consistently preached that message all along, and sad to see too few heed your message.

Thanks for the tribute to Will/Update and thank you at Switchboard for your continued service.

Regards.
