Digital BW, The Print

I totally agree, why not move all of this post to a "Off Topic" 
group were they really belong, Oh, I would include this one to.
To try to find anything of interest here has proved impossible over 
the last few days.

but it turns to be a smorgasbord of unrelated stuff.  How many shots 
any one takes is totally unrelated and I am getting fed up with

there is a moderator please read the riot act.  These postings 
render the whole thing almost useless.
