However, even when this kind of process might lead to a final wet-processed print, say a carbon or pt./pd. it was rejected by some members of APUG. My point has always been that using hybrid techniques is really a way to promote traditional print-making processes, and in this area I believe APUG is much to exclusive. Though I might add that the founder of APUG also started a separate hybrid forum, perhaps to get rid of seditious folks like me.
On the whole, however, I like to think that most members of APUG simply want to promote and see traditional forms of photography continue. Interestingly, some of the most vociferous of the anti-digital group that set the tone for APUG in the early days have since left. But I think that proves a point that I have long tried to make, and that is that folks who are simply "anti-digital" are not necessarily the ones who are doing the most to promote traditional forms of photography.
