Re: [APML] Petition-2nd draft



 
Warren thank you for the time you have put in on these letters, But I don't think you're going to produce the results with a letter like this. If you want resiults then I think these words need to be in that petition.:
"We have a real need for a good 120 astro film. There are x number of astrophotographers who have made the statement that they would purchase y dollars worth of z film. As a show of their commitment to this need, they are willing to purchase this when Kodak has the production run ready to go. There will be many more who also have this need and will purchase this film when word gets out farther than our internet mailing list."
 
We've already had two people say they will buy at least $200 worth of a reproduced 120 film. If we can't drum up at least $2000 worth of business (10 people) we don't have a chance. And I imagine Kodak wouldn't produce for less than $10,000 worth of product as someone has already mentioned but that figure is not unattainable considering there are many medium format astrophotographers outside the APML community.

Here's an edited version getting to our specific appeal quicker while cutting down on some superfluous metaphor.
