I really doubt very much that there's a significant proportion of the forum membership 
whose "primary interest" lies...in merely the elegant science of it all. IMHO, it would 
be the very rare person who delves deeply into B&W digital printing without having a 
_primary_ interest in using it as  a medium for their own artistic expression. 
Otherwise...why bother? Naturally I'm excluding those very, very few who might have 
purely commercial (not creative art) motives. Not that there's anything wrong with 
that...;-)

Those of us without the ability, time, or interest to concern ourselves with the highly 
technical aspects of B&W digital printing should be very grateful for those in our midst 
who find the time and energy (what I'm certain is _additional_ time and energy ) to 
develop, teach and share the "science" that serves the art.
