Not a very good excuse
Mark, then how do the other writers manage to provide a PDF or blog or both? Since this does not seem to be a problem for the others, why is it a problem for Greg and why didn't you suggest either a PDF or a blog in addition? Like the others who have posted here, I too enjoyed Greg's articles in the past (prior to this xxx slideshow approach). As soon as I see a slideshow only, I just skip it (and maybe post a complaint if it looked like an article I would have wanted to read).
