Digital BW, The Print

Actually Austin,
Your "posts" do go on and on without a point. It's for this reason 
that I only read the posts once in a while and do not subscribe to 
email. You are not the only one guilty of this, it defeats the 
objective nature of this forum. 
Your posts go on and on until you have beating the challanger into 
boredom.
Why don't you and the others who do this start their own independant 
forum? I am sure you will have a lot of posts...

Lets keep this forum to the subject and not off topic.
I am sure you have a lot to offer technically.
