RE: [APML] Number of APML members?

["fl.lusen" <fl.lusen@verizon.net>]

Gentlemen,

I have been reading with interest the current thread, which mirrors a number
of threads broaching the same topic over the years.  I do not post much but
am an avid reader and have learned much about film from this list.  While I
agree that film, is not what it used to be and more people are going over to
the dark side I have to disagree about opening this list to CCD and DSLR.
As has been said, there is a preponderance of lists covering the silicon
interests but only this one that was originally dedicated to film.  That
being said, it appears a moot point since from the outset of CCD people have
posted here with no regards to the stated purpose of this list as enumerated
by the founders.

When I shoot, I still use film as do a number of members of our local
astrophotography group.  I still have many rolls of color film in the
freezer.  One member recently purchased $500.00 of TecPan.  Consider the
continued threads relative to the search for new color films and the testing
that some of the members are doing and tell me there is not a place for a
dedicated list like this for the subject.

Regards,

Fred Lusen
