Any list will be what the members make it.  Nobody suppresses
stereocard discussions on P3D.  It is the responsibility of
those interested in cards to contribute to the discussions.
I remember asking print related questions on P3D and not
getting any responses.  Card makers need to make their presence
known and felt on P3d.  They need to do a better job of helping
newbies.  The craft could be much better promoted to a large
audience like P3d.  IMO, dropping out of P3D does not serve
that purpose.  If print makers want to be a private clique
and not share their knowledge and experience with all P3D
subscribers, I certainly cannot prevent that.  But the APEC
III list does not exist for that purpose, and should not be
used that way.

a) Most of the discussion has been equally applicable to getting one
stereo card produced.

b) Potential or future APEC members will also benefit from hearing
about having 35 cards produced.

c) Slide makers who aren't yet making stereocards could potentially
benefit from the discussion.

We've decided to be a private group devoted to APEC-specific topics.
I realize there are potential benefits to a small focused list.
There is no perfect scenario.  However, instead of cross-posting
general information to APEC and P3D, IMO it would be better to post
to P3D and, if necessary, cc: the information to a non-P3D person.
