Digital BW, The Print

"what you Americans quaintly refer to
as a shoot out"

Is this kind of vile sarcasm really necessary on a forum that deals 
with B&W digital printing?.  I strongly suggest to the moderator of 
this board to ban all negative cultural remarks and the bigots that 
wrote them from this forum.  Hate is always a product of ignorance 
and malice. This forum should not be a vehicle for hatred.  The 
number one rule for all human beings sould be mutual respect.  My 2 
cents worth.
