Digital BW, The Print

Martin, 
I want to make absolute clear, that I didn´t want to criticize the fact 
that you forwarded Jon´s statement. That is actually what I would 
have done too if I had been in your situation, no doubt.
What I wanted to criticize is the fact, that Jon hasn´t answered the 
concerns, which have been posted on this list and on the piezo 
list about the fading problem of his new black ink himself.
These are serious concerns, and all we have heard from him - at 
least so far - has been the sound of silence.
If I wasn´t able to express this clearly enough in my post, and you 
felt personally offended  - even to a small amount -, I apologize.
Please blame my clumsy English again and be sure that I´m 
proud to regard you as a personal friend of mine. Not that I 
regard it as prohibited to criticize a friend, but I would have done 
it offline if I had have a reason, that is for sure.
But I have had no reason! 
Your work as list moderator is just perfect (to say the least).
As always
Bernd
