I am sorry but having read the correspondence going on regarding the Judy/Terry confrontations surely this message is equally
obnoxious? Maybe this is what is needed - an outsider looking in with an unbiassed opinion.
In every "art" you have people who may be considered "stroppy" but you do not ignore their artistry for all that. Let's get back
to the proper role of the list, which is the very valuable contributions people make towards alternative processes. Never mind
their personalities and foibles. No one is "right" even in methods of achieving the final picture. I do the calotype process,
amongst others, and I would never say there is only one way to do it just as I am sure the same applies to every other process. .
So please respect others opinions even if they do not coincide with your own. So keep Terry and everyone else on the list.
