Digital BW, The Print

Hello Paul,

>..the list is "digital b/w the print", the implication being the 
>holier than thou space left by AA and others.

I never thought it implied that.

I see your other points and don't really disagree, but I think you're
reading more into this than was ever intended.  This started out as a
joke, and now it's evolving into one of those mindless debates on one
of those subjects that can never be resolved which clog up forums
everywhere and accomplish nothing. 

One of the things that I have loved about this forum is that we make
an effort to keep that from happening here (sometimes more
successfully than others <g>).  If you want to see what happens when
that gets out of hand go visit the dpreview forums.  In the average
thread you're lucky if there are three entries of useful exchange
before people start sniping at each other and it devolves into drudge.
 It must be a sport or something.

I never said there was anything wrong with discussing how drawing
relates to photography, and I'm sorry you misunderstood my meaning. 
I'm personally interested in it and would love it if it was a
meaningful exchange.  What I object to is that it's turning into one
those idiotic mindless flame debates.  Please, everyone, make the
effort.  This isn't dpreview.



Regards,
Clayton
