... even if it is in color:

     I am beginning to wonder if this list should continue to be
confined to B&W. The reasoning is that "chemical" color photography is
based on the same silver emulsion technology as B&W. Since the whole
field of chemical photography (my term) has shrunk so much since the
introduction of electronic (digital) photography perhaps such
restrictions should not continue. What say others?




When I originally conceived Pure-Silver, there was no good B&W
oriented forum around other than the very noisy rec.photo* groups
on USENET.  I later added the chroma and silver-bits mailing lists
which never got any real traction.  But things - as you say -
are rather different today.  It seems to me that with chemical
photography really shrinking, there is strength in numbers and
that we should embrace all manner of chemical photography including
traditional techniques, color, and even chemical-digital hybrids.
If and when the traffic becomes large enough to be a nuisance,
another mailing list can always be instantiated.

I agree with the responders so far. IMHO, both B&W and color are based on a silver emulsion, and color work is a lot easier if you have a basic grounding in B&W. If there is to be a vote, I vote in favor of merging the lists into one. I just hope that it's a long time before a silver-based mailing list needs to be merged with another fine list, IDCC!
(BTW Mr Daneliuk, your recent five point post regarding maturing as an artist is hanging on my darkroom wall right beside the ring-around.)
