Digital BW, The Print

I agree with those who feel this is ON topic and is of
interest to me.  I did in fact receive new knowledge
and inspiration from this thread.  Digital is in a
constant state of change so 3 months can sometimes
mean a lot.  Analog capture and processing has been
around for a long enough time for there to be many
"nooks and crannies" of experience and knowledge taht
can be shared and learned.   

If how the B&W image is captured , processed, and
scanned (if necessary) are not important parts of
printing, what is?

I admit that I have little personal interest in
spectrophotometers for example, but I just hit
<delete> and move on to the next post.  I don't write
and request the subject be banned or make prayers to
God to somehow edit these out before they hit my
in-box - or whose yet, strike the posters e-mute!

As others have said before,  I believe our hearts and
minds in this forum are large enough to accommodate
practically all that has to do with making beautiful
(to us)  B&W prints where the final or penultimate (as
in digital negatives) output is digital.

Personal attack is the only subject which I would
suggest be taboo.  And when someone says "don't take
this personally" one can be sure it was intended to
hurt.   Those who truly wish not to hurt orhers
feelings - ust don't - or if they do so
unintentionally or in the heat of the moment,
apologize.
