Michael, I agree 100%. I don't view this forum as a source for students to complete requirements w/o research. I'm all for helping newcomers over issues they can't resolve, but the question "how do I develop B&W film" is NOT such an issue. I have and will remain free to add caustic comments in such cases where I deem it appropriate. Civility has nothing to do with it. If you show up here, asking for opinions, you must be ready to hear them.(posted 8263 days ago)Again, the life blood of this hobby is new members, buying products so manufacturers will continue to make them, and I personally have no intention of dissuading any legitimate student of the craft from learning. But, except for hardcore bad language, I'm for no interference.
