Guys,

 They deserve the opportunity to test a rapidly narrowing niche market and
sink or swim.  In the final analysis marketing gimmicks are what sell prints
and they know it. Whining about that is silly.  That they use modern methods
to print their rag and quibbling about chemical darkroom processes also
being "mechanical" misses the point.  

Shut up and make art,
