Peter,
I have to disagree with this suggestion. If Terry has made claims on
this list about his version of a process, then this list is exactly
the place for examinations of those claims to be aired. This is how
science works, by the public presentation of evidence that supports
or fails to support claims that have been made. It seems to me that
it makes more sense, if someone has information that would increase
the knowledge base of the list membership as a whole on this point,
to share it with all of us instead of simply quietly communicating it
to Terry. But I guess then we're back to what is the purpose of the
list, on which there seems to be some disagreement. I continue to
see the list as a place where people of good will share information
with each other with the goal of increasing the store of valid and
reliable information relating to the alt photo processes, as well as
a place where beginners can come and ask questions and get answers.
If claims that have been made can't be replicated by others, then
this is information that should be available to the whole group.
