Digital BW, The Print

Sorry but that "idea" is far from the intelligent and 
informative "exchange of ideas" that you refer to.  The good news is 
there is a LOT of good information and knowledge that is exchanged 
here on a regular basis.  A discussion of papers or printers or 
films or cameras and their uses in various combinations is a far cry 
from the "which one is best?" queries.  As you may know, these 
exchanges here are, for the most part, subjective, as well they 
should be.  They are well worthwhile perusing.  The others, which 
occupy tons of space are not that easy to "scroll past" as you 
suggested.  

I have no quarrel with the intent and content of what's here that is 
of value to most everyone, I DO take issue with the printers, inks, 
papers etc. "SHOOTOUT" that some like to occasionally interject 
which have little value except to tout the "snob appeal" of various 
products.  

Anyway, so be it... nuff said.  Let's not beat this dead horse.
