Hmmm, blue glove you say. I've been using the purple ones. Maybe it's time to re-think my approach. Thanks for the tip.

I'd be in favor of that, regardless of the symbol used. However, my support is contingent upon the guidelines being updated to prohibit feeding trolls. Without that, lots of otherwise serious people keep throwing the trolls nourishment. With it (enforced), there'd be lots of "no response" threads, i.e. automatic troll shunning.
PS I've noticed that trolls frequently disguise trolling by posting their nonsense in the form of "questions." Might be a good way to determine whether things posted in other categories really ought be moved to this new one.
A digital/traditional subforum could be interesting and informative but I'm not sure how one would identify a troll.
Is it the person who insists that digital picture-making and making pictures out of light sensitive materials is the same thing?
Or is the troll the one who points that the two methods are actually different?
Is it trolling to assert that digital pictures and pictures made by light and chemistry are identical in outcome and value?
Or is the troll the one who proposes that the the two kinds of picture constitute different outcomes and the differences are sometimes important, sometimes not?
Or, worst of all, is a troll is a person who fashions a post that transgresses the personal philosophy of a moderator?
I get the impression that many people making pictures using digital methods are very defensive about their personal identification as photographers. There may be issues of self esteem, professional credibility, commercial status, and aesthetic credentials at stake. But this forum is not the real world where people may prosper if the market-place identifies them as photographers and sees their children starve if they are not. There is an opportunity to make this place a haven of calm and rational discussions of all lens based picture-making methods.
Photography:first utterance. Sir John Herschel, 14 March 1839 at the Royal Society. "...Photography or the application of the Chemical rays of light to the purpose of pictorial representation,..".
Instead, maybe a poll of members' chosen printing methods.
It might be useful to know how many users there are of various printing methods.
With a poll, folks won't be able to argue.....
Who prints? I throw away all my negs long before scanning or printing comes into play.

I print with a hammer. But I have both a digital one and an analog one.
They're both really big, though.
Large formash.
Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:
