Digital BW, The Print

I have to say I completely agree; from my point of view, the volume
of postings 
daily is nearly unworkable, since so little has to do with BW digital
printing; 
going through all this every day has all the charm of sorting through
spam. 
I appreciate that many people have the time and inclination to chat
at length 
about an endless list of off-topic matters, many of them extremely
abstruse; 
but it would be nice if more of this could be done either in other
forums or off-
line, since this forum is getting smothered by it.
