Digital BW, The Print

I'm pleased to see such an increase in list activity of late, and have  
enjoyed the flow of information. I am sorry to see the polemic crank  
up quite so much, and wish list members could avoid personal insults;  
that would certainly help keep this list welcoming to the widest range  
of posters. One more compliment Jon deserves is for his sense of  
humor, which eases things considerably! (How about: Thou shalt not  
take life too seriously; no matter how seriously thou takest thy  
printmaking.)
