Digital BW, The Print

Thanks again for the directions.
I take all the articles in the luminous... web site seriously,  but as 
with everything I have to form my own
opinion.  So, do not worry.  Even though I haven't felt any tendency to 
bias in those articles,  I am not
going to rely on it blindly.  On the other hand - I love this site, and 
I strongly admire the dedication of the
creator.
Thanks,
Jack
