It's OK, I always wear a flame-retardant vest while on the Internet. ;) BTW, as I said before, I'm not a hater. I just think critically about technology. Cases in point: I don't have a smartphone. I still have my collection of vinyl records. And I'm still using the same email program, Eudora, that I used back in the 1990s during the first round of "Flameworks" posts that forced me off the list. And why do I cling to these old ways? Not because they're old, not because I resist change, but because I have evaluated my needs and decided that these older technologies are better for me. New is not necessarily good, and old is not necessarily good, either. But in the case of celluloid film, very soon it will be a moot point, because you won't be able to buy it for love or money. --
