Eric, the answer to your angry question is obvious: Paper distributors
have said for several years that whiteners on cotton paper will
eventually fade or even yellow. You know that as well as anyone. 

Some paper manufacturers use restraint with whiteners in order to
minimize that problem. That's specifically what Moab is said to have
done with Moab Entrada Bright, while intentionally marketing Moab
Entrada Natural for people who were maximum-worried about changes.

Polar white is remarkably white. It appears to be a "Super Enhanced
Matte." Given that it's reasonable to wonder (as I did) if the
longevity of its white is questionable...that's a reasonable thing to
wonder about with ANY whitened paper. 

You have not used Polar for long long because it hasn't been around
for long.

***While I hope nothing yellows as rapidly as EEM does (did), it's 
prudent to openly wonder about the future of a similarly priced,
almost identical looking, heavily-brightened paper. 

***AND it's especially worthwhile to wonder about it on this specific
Forum, of all Forums. :-)
