But if you've been following the discussion you can see that there 
are LOTS of people who are unhappy with the current situation.   I'm 
just more articulate and persistent than most of them  8-)

I'm not the one that coined the phrased "science fair" approach 
(although I think it's quite apt).   And I'm not the one who's 
theratening to cancel a contract with ColorBytes - although I don't 
blame them.    And I'M not even the one who started this thread after 
pointing out that they had a fading problem with the last set of 3rd-
party inks they tried.

I don't go back to a wet darkroom because 95% of my photography these 
days is digital.

I think of it as "fair and balanced".
