Now most of us shoot almost the same sensors, so there is little to discuss. Some old farts refuse to go quietly into the good night and have stuck with film. I have a lot to discuss, but nobody seems to care.
1) People have scattered to many places. Even the calendar for art in my local area allows one to have a free gallery of pictures online. Perhaps we should spread the word to photo clubs etc that one can post one picture a week and perhaps get a different point of view about the pictures.
2)We knew much more about wet photography than we know about digital. There are only a few really tech savvy people on this list for digital stuff. (Also there are those among us like me who never learned to type efficiently)

I remember when the list first
started there was always lots of discussion about chemistry formulations
/modifications, developer/film combinations, darkroom technique, etc.
I’m not
saying there isn’t enough to discuss about digital, but it just doesn’t seem to
have that whatever (can’t find the way to say what I’m thinking about here) as
film did or still has.

………..But besides feedback, general discussion or communications using this list
has also experienced a significant decline. Sometimes I think it is maybe time
to discontinue the list. Maybe there was more to discuss in the silver age than
in the digital age.
Think you’re right Andy. I remember when the list first

sitting in front of a monitor, at least most of the time. Just one retired old
geezer’s opinion.
