Digital BW, The Print

(List moms forgive me, but) he is so full of crap I have taken the liberty
of adding him to my Blocked Senders list, never the more to be deluged with
such ramblings.  Only when he is quoted in responses will I be reminded that
such obstinacy still exists.

==Digital has serious problems with color, although much of
