So let's make it clear - no-one ever suggested they will replace normal text so there's no reason to point the fact out, as if it's a problem to be overcome - it's a bit like saying beware buying a radio, it won't replace books!
Fine Nigel, but a lot of people don't have/want/can't afford smart phones with QR readers. Bit sad to see TJJ being jumped on for making a perfectly valid point.

Personally I don't really care either way as I find sign-boards quite obstrusive right next to a site, and I don't have a smart phone anyway. But there you go.

You shouldn't assume you know what you don't as if you did you wouldn't. Finis.

I don’t think Nigel was ‘jumping on anyone’ tsc. It’s perhaps a salutary lesson to us all, however, that before voicing an opinion on something (in this case QR codes) we take half an hour out to see what they're all about and if they might be constructively used in the megalithic/heritage context.

A lot of damage can be done, you know, by ignorantly and (hastily) jumping on a possibly very good idea initiated by sincere and caring people.
