COT 320, is it gone forever?

[Loris Medici]

I recently purchased a 25 sheets pack of 22x30" COT 320 from a French on-line retailer. (Prophot) Then a friend of mine also wanted to order from them (a couple of weeks later than me) and the retailer returned stating "this product is out of stock in our stores, warehouses and *suppliers*, and we don't expect any delivery in the immediate future - *maybe never again*"!!!

Given the fact that suppliers have difficulties in meeting the market demand for a long time (6-7 months or even longer...), I'm really concerned we may have lost (or we are in the process of loosing) a very fine paper from our arsenals.

Any thoughts / comments or inside information?

Regards,
Loris.

Whew! Those two messages above are assuring... I mean I was about to panic after being informed so (exact translation above) by a "French" reseller.

Thanks,
