This topic was started a looong time ago indeed. Although I did write a
book on Gum and Other Direct Carbon Processes, I have had no interest in
them for years. I don't even have time, nor interest, to use the Fresson
process, which I still own. I don't read at least half of the traffic on
this list these days. Too many projects behind schedule.
This said, I sometimes read Judy's posts on subjects of little interest to
me, because of her sense of humor.

you wimp;-) I have defended many people I have never met. You should see
the letters to the editors I send to Canadian newspapers...

I'm not thinking much of anything, except maybe that the discussion has
been too theoretical. I just look at a high quality, full scale monochrome
looking Epson print (made from 6 colors) and I tell myself that a paper
negative made the same way would be workable to make full scale carbons.
This I find exciting. At some point I'll have to roll up my sleeves and
find out for myself.
