Re: RGB Convert to Grayscale

I made the effort to read all posts in this thread just to see how far something stupid 
can go and at one point I was wondering if most of the posters have had too much 
wine and too little turkey but looking back I notice a general tendency on the list 
towards discussions on very subjective topics, on tonalities, most effective B&W film 
imitations, warmth/coolness in inks and papers, etc., generally perception stuff.
Surprising for a list whose purpose is discussing technical aspects of digital printing.
I'm getting really tired of reading half baked opinions glorified as laws of nature on 
non-issues. I'm sure all of you are nice people who mean well, somehow mailing lists 
have this quality of stimulating the silliness even in the best of us making otherwise 
capable people sound stupid and limited.
