Thank you, having gone to pains to get a good clear picture of the current B&
W printing landscape over the last year, someone might as well benefit from 
it; after all, I'm too busy to write a book about it. (That chore falls to 
another list member <G>).

former architect, and a resident of the premier wooden boat building region, I 
don't find building a small boat a particularly daunting task; quite fun 
actually. But: like some methods of B&W printing, it requires a whole lot of 
background knowledge, a specific skillset, and the right tools. Which is why 
boatbuilding popped into my head when I was writing that.
