YOU don't need to be concerned, but how about ME? :-) (or "us")

Actually, this sounds like something I have said (regarding not using 
Kodachrome for my personal photography) but sounds funny coming out of 
BILL C. WALTON, who is shooting B&W so HIS stereo images last FOR EVER!!!

>I have not been in stereo as long as some of you,
>having started in 1973.  

That's ONLY 24 years, which I am sure puts you at the top 1-2% of
this list (unless I receive claims for the contrary, I consider Bob 
Howard the most "experienced" stereo photography, having been taking
stereo pictures BEFORE the Realist came out in 1947!!!)

>I consider myself a  producer, not a collector

Do different rules apply to stereo images that YOU produced, versus stereo
images that someone else produced and you now collect?
