Yeah I understood. Didn't add :-) but hoped it would be obvious I
wouldn't care if anyone made fun of silver gelatin. Indeed, I started
making emulsions when my friends made fun of me still shooting film
and then saying films would go away. Today few people tell me that
there won't be any more films any more, because it's pointless to tell
me that.

By the way I do shoot digital as well. Handmade emulsion is good for
selected few images but I can't print party pics with them.
