Sir, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed by T. Black regarding the online CPD articles (BDJ 2007; 202: 238).

I too prefer to read from a printed journal rather than a computer screen as:

  1. 1

    It is much quicker to open a journal than go through the process of booting up a computer, logging onto the internet, accessing the website, entering passwords etc

  2. 2

    Journals can be read anywhere – the same cannot be said for computers

  3. 3

    Relevant CPD articles can also be saved in a file for future reference.

It is unreasonable to expect BDA members to download and print off articles when we pay such a high membership fee.

So please, please Mr Hancocks print both CPD articles!
