Yet more evidence of the dominance of digital/demise of darkroom?

Data point: in the latest Costco catalog (no, I'm not a member, it's
someone else's), out of their offering of 36 cameras, only *one* is
not digital. (It's a Konica Minolta Maxxum 70 SLR.) Can you say
"nails in the coffin"?

DISCLAIMER: I'm no fan of digital. I love "traditional" wet
photography. I love old cameras. But I also try to recognize reality.

Hello David,

This is a darkroom group. The working definition of this term is commonly
understood by all those present, yourself included. The posters and readers
here enjoy exercising this particular photographic technology. The
processes required and the results they yield are satisfying to them. It is
their preferred method of photographic creativity. If this were not the
case, they would not be practicing this particular craft and not be reading
and posting here on this subject.

Yet even with the availability to you of this obvious, common knowledge, you
still choose to initiate a new discussion with such inflammatory comments as
"demise of darkroom" and "nails in the coffin." And in so doing you
intentionally choose to showcase yourself in an extremely poor light as
regards the fundamental purpose and day-to-day practices of this group.

Why is that?
