Digital BW, The Print

This made me laugh out loud:

"Well, as a new member who signed up a few days ago, I can certainly say 
that y'all are an exciting group to hang with. ;-)"

Thanks.

Art,

As I said in the guidelines, "While digital B&W printing would seem like a
very mild topic to most, those of us with experience know that people
can become very impassioned over their art, ideas, and choice of
materials." If I tried to explain what occurs on this list from time-to-time
to an outsider, I doubt that I would be believed.

You will find your two excellent rules added to the guidelines that go out
to each new member.

Thanks,
