You seem to be the only person in this group who constantly says things that people twist, take out of context, find lone exceptions to, and get bashed repeatedly. Tell you anything?

it tells me that people like you argue for the sake of arguing. they're focused on irrelevant things such as word usage or that i choose to not capitalize rather than the actual topic.

Some do, especailly the non native English speakers who don;t undrstand how the English langauge is used.

they don't provide actual facts, they just say "you're wrong", expecting that is all it takes. laughable.

Like you did when I potest proof that snipping on ebay isnt; effective and doesn;t really work but they want you to think it does so you spend more\than you might have if you stopped to think.

the only reason is because they don't have anything to refute and can *only* argue about stupid shit.

Some just end with digital is better than film and they think that proves they understand the point being made.

i've said film is dead. you've said no, it's not dead, film is still sold, therefore i'm wrong.

That is pretty much correct.

something doesn't have to drop to zero to be considered dead. Pretty much so, that;s what doctors and peolpe do to work out whether or not you can revive them of take them to the morgue rather than the hospital, people have had to do this for 1000s of years and not get it wrong too often hopefully.

film sales are a tiny fraction of what they once were.

So, floppies are also in t4he same 'boat' as far as 'sails' go ;-)

kodak filed for bankruptcy. saying film is dead is not wrong.

Doesn't make it dead, just less used than it was. The word dead has particualar uses perhaps you need to find a more apt word for film than dead.

i've said vinyl records cannot beat digital audio and film cannot beat digital photography and people start arguing that some people like vinyl records and some movie producers still use film.

So hardly dead then as you said. Analogue is better than digital for almost everything.

Just like smartphones are better cameras than 'cameras' .

one has nothing to do with the other. people can like vinyl and film all they want but it's a mathematical impossibility for vinyl or film to beat their digital counterparts. it's simply not possible.

Easily possible all music is recorded using anlogue and then it's chopped upto digital and some bits thrown away just like they do from RAW to JPEG. ONly an idiot would claim JPEG is better than RAW, or perhaps it's just those that doen;t understand what RAW is that think that way. People knew how shit MP3s are compared to an original recording that's why people use ACC and lossless to some it doesn;t matter of course.
