Re: [Digital BW] Thoughts about Stairs... ;-)

Care to explain the conection between this thread and Digital Black 
and White, the Print?
Other forums that I used to read got so far off topic that they are 
seldom read, if you would like to see a what I mean have a look at 
Qimage on Yahoo. Back in Dec there were over 1000 posts, last month 
there were little over 200. They got off topic, lead by a few 
people,  now the forum is not worth looking at.
Guys, why not use the email system of this kind of thread?
