Digital BW, The Print

Art,

As I said in the guidelines, "While digital B&W printing would seem like a
very mild topic to most, those of us with experience know that people
can become very impassioned over their art, ideas, and choice of
materials." If I tried to explain what occurs on this list from time-to-time
to an outsider, I doubt that I would be believed.

You will find your two excellent rules added to the guidelines that go out
to each new member.

Thanks,

Martin Wesley
