Name change

Reed Business Information, the largest B2B publisher in the U.S., says it has renamed one of its trade magazines. MSI magazine, which covers the IT industry, will be now called Manufacturing Business Technology. Reed says the name change will "better identify the publication's subject matter."
Perhaps someone at Reed can explain why Manufacturing Business Technology's too-cluttered website was still urging people today to subscribe to MSI.
What I hear from folks at Reed is that the company continues to struggle with technology issues. That's surprising to me, given that Reed owns eLogic, one of my favorite content-management systems.
