I don't understand how they can ignore Peizography.  I
have a platinum print and one of the same shot done
with Peizotone inks and there is NO comparison...the
Peizotone ink print is better. They (B&W) do show
great work, and are beautifully produced, but ignoring
digital B&W is sticking your head in the sand. 

Film and digital don't really matter to me. What
matters is the end product. I don't personally own a
digital camera of any kind, but I'd own one quickly if
it let me work in the formats and lenses I own today
and produce results as good as or better than film and
scanner or film and wet dark room. When and if they
bring out a digital M I'll buy it.  When they get a
12shot or greater digital back for a Hasselblad for a
few thousand dollars that is as small light and
portable as a film back I'll buy it. 

Arguing about digital, ignoring it, or banning it is
pretty foolish IMHO.
