Re: Where did printing go?

Hello Claude,

A rather poor attempt to justify all the camera talk.  I do believe
that we needed cameras to capture images back when film was king, but
that wasn't an excuse to turn this into a camera forum (as if there
aren't enough already).  Has something changed since digital cameras
came along?

One of the great things about this forum (in the past) is it used to
stay true to its purpose, with only occasional minor straying from the
track.  How refreshing it was to have a gathering place that didn't
get clogged up with all the camera blather that is identical to all
the other camera blather in 30 or 40 other forums, take your pick. 
How many times does the world need yet more discussions of Film vs
Digital, Canon vs Nikon, ad infinitum?  Used to be we had a forum
administrator who would step in now and then and keep things in line,
but he seems to have retired.  How sad.  Martin, where are you?

If you want to talk about cameras so badly, how about all of you go
over to the dpreview Canon Talk forum and start a new thread and
continue there?  That's what it's for.  That's not what this forum is
for.  Enough already!


Regards,
Clayton
