I have not had and still do not have a problem with CCD postings THAT ARE
FILM RELEVANT. If it is not film relevant, then I think it is out of place
on this APML list. If the APML list members can agree with that and gently
remind newcomers when their CCD postings are not quite film relevant, then
we might be able to get past this ongoing problem. The moderator (Gene I
appreciate all your hard work) might need to be tho one who does this
off-list. These are my convictions, and my hopes are that APML can be a
continuing and even a thriving internet resource for those who still want to
use film for astro imaging.

 

I understand and respect what you've said. I agree with what you say and am willing to abide by whatever the concensus is. In the past I've argued in favor of CCD postings. Nowadays I don't really care. I like them, but I do realize that this is the only film list and that is more important. I can find CCD images just about anywhere. I personally un-subscribed for one reason only: there was rampant disrespect shown to FELLOW LIST MEMBERS. I've asked the others to come back and help police these situations as soon as they start popping up. If we cannot treat each other with a certain amount of respect, we need to take our act elsewhere. I want this list to remain a valuable resource for those still using film and whatever I can do to ensure that, I will do. That is my promise.

 

I do think that we need to voice our concerns on this public forum until we have things figured out, and know what it is exactly that we want.

 

Happy Holidays,

Alan
