Digital BW, The Print

It's easy for me to make the call, Guy, partly because I've been on 
at least one digital-print list with David Tobie for years now, going 
back at least to Mitchell Leben's lists, well before Horses, to say 
nothing of ColorVision and Datacolor. And over the course of these 
years, I long ago came both to respect and to trust David Tobie 
because of his behavior on these lists, especially as a color guru.

It's also easy for me to make the call partly because David Tobie has 
been, as he should have been, up front about where he's coming from. 
What he has put above the signature quoted below makes it obvious 
that David is not disinterested in PrintFIX Pro. Nor should he be. 
And I'm glad he's not, because consumers need such advocacy to choose 
among competing products in a free market. I don't think David has 
done too much of that, certainly neither on this list nor on the 
MacEpsonList (also at Yahoo).

Critical deconstruction of such promotion also has a role to play in 
the marketplace. But I'm leery of it when I can't tell where it's 
coming from or what it's promoting instead.
