One of the most vocal proponents of black only printing on the 
entire Internet is Nicholas Hartmann, who is, or used to be, a major 
participant here on this Yahoo group.  (in fact, he credits this 
group with his interest in Black Only printing).  And he says that 
what he likes about B.O. printing is that it has an "authentic 
35mm 'look'" and that the results most closely resemble actual 
darkroom photography.   So he's a very prominent example of someone 
who draws direct comparisons.

You seem to be trying have it both ways.  If I say it's not in the 
same category as Quadtone and RIP and Lambda printing you complain 
I'm denigrating it; and if I make direct comparisons with them, you 
say you never said it's in the same league.  So I don't know what 
you want.   I can't tell whether you're saying it SHOULD be compared 
to Quadtone and RIP and Lambda printing, in which case I say it 
compares unfavorably, or whether you're saying such camparisons 
should not be made because it has it has its OWN characteristics, 
like watercolor shouldn't be compared to oil painting because they 
each have their own characteristics.

But if it's the latter then we need to make that clear to newbies.
