The Other Blogmeister: Highly Recommended
If you've googled web handling and converting topics, such as wrinkling, winding, tension control, you'll find two guys popping up again and again. You're reading one of them now (moi...tjwalker, tjwa inc.) and the other is Dr. David Roisum of Finishing Technologies.
Dave has been an independent consultant a few more years than I have and his Beloit and Kimberly-Clark days give him much more paper industry experience than I'll ever have (I'm more of a film guy).
Dave has been more than gratious as I left 3M and became an independent consultant. The web handling areas is a 'big pond' with more than enough room for two fish.
Dave and I run into each other often (that sounds like it hurts). It's good to compare notes with a fellow consultant. I always read his stuff...and you should, too.
I write a monthly column for Paper, Film, and Foil Converter - WEB LINES.
Dave writes a montly column for Converting magazine - WEB WORKS.
I'm in the blogging game (you're reading it now).
Dave is also in the blog-o-sphere, via AIMCAL.

Enjoy. I hope we aren't giving away too many free answers. We both got families to feed (and hobbies to support).
