Digital BW, The Print

Hi Clayton:

Thanks for your well - considered response, AND for your deep concern 
about the well - being of this excellent list!  I respect your views.

I guess it is a judgement call about what constitutes an overly 
prolonged discussion of this sort.  I, too, would hate to put off 
newcomers to this outstanding list.  But I do cherish those 
historical perspectives also!  Ah, ambivalent feelings, so very human.

Best regards to you................. Jack

As much as I love the subject, this is not a general photography
forum.  I accept that.  I hope others will too.  If we all will keep
that in mind we will instinctively know when it's time to cease
comments and let these threads die off, which is what happens most of
the time.
