I agree. The traffic of the other two lists are very low at this point, and I think pure-silver photographers lost or reduced digital allergy by 2004. If in the future the power balance breaks again we may reconsider splitting then. I am rather neutral on the freelists.org issue, but what I am concerned about is that people becoming salesperson, or people stating opinions about one option without gathering sufficient information for other options to make sensible judgement. Why don't we list up all those technical, privacy and sustainability concerns and how each option compares, before jumping on to one solution? It is pretty crazy that many people in this list criticize the poor business practice of large corporations and we don't give any serious considerations before making such an important decision for our own list. It's easier to move the list than reorganize film plants but it's still a lot better to understand a few most viable options before deciding. But the list is getting confusing. Why don't we make a "pure-silver transition committee" of 5 or 7 members and give them some time, while we focus on photographic issues here? -- Ryuji Suzuki "Well, believing is all right, just don't let the wrong people know what it's all about."
