Re: [APML] APML Voting Site

["Chris Cook" <ccook@cape.com>]

Because I would like to see the APML continue as THE resource on
astroimaging (film, CCD, DSLR, digicam etc etc) not only film.  It is my
opinion that it will not continue very far into the future considering the
trend of film manufacturers, digital pricing and the newbies entering the
hobby who are buying digicams, webcam, DSLR's and sometimes even CCD's.

I feel if digital media is allowed, it can only make the list a richer
place.  And just because digital is officially allowed on the list doesn't
mean that all of the postings will be that...........
