Please note that in his column he uses the incorrect link to his own message board- I've offered the correct one above. Drop by there and let him know what you think. (Or contribute to this thread, if you like.)It's certainly true that the web is the easiest way to distribute and receive a lot of material ? even fifteen minutes ordering and an hour downloading a comic via a 56k hookup beats waiting three to six weeks for the mail ? but it's next to impossible to convince webgoers to adjust their buying habits. If you could get the latest issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (just pulling the name out of the air, don't get all pedantic on me; substitute "Ed The Happy Clown" if you want to) delivered to your computer for $2.50 (which you could then burn to a CD for a permanent copy) instead of running across town to your local comics shop to pick up a copy, would you be willing? How important is a physical copy? Drop over to the Permanent Damage Message Board and let me know.
