I have nothing to do with digital photo work. I am iterested in it only on how it could
be use to me in alt-process some day.
If it is not of interest to me I dump it.
Most of the people that have exchanged info on it in this site are involved im alt-pross
I do not think there is enything wrong in the why they have used this site.
Remember the wine in UT what has that to do with alt-pross.

My experience is that focused mailing lists/Usenet newsgroups
attract a group of people who have that focus in common, and
often they find they have other things - and therefore discussion
topics - in common. The trick is keeping the group relatively
focused while still allowing for the talk about non-focused
but shared interests.
My sense from this group and the recent discussion that my
first post started is that people interested in alt processes
define "alt" as the technology of the final print. Creating
images in Photoshop and negatives on digital printers is fine,
as long as the final product is in some sense hand-made.
Personally, that's what interests me so it's an OK definition.
