What does digital image processing have in common with a real darkroom,
that it should be discussed in this group?

In both cases you can start with a negative (or a slide) and end up with a
photo, but as far as I can see all steps in between are completely different.

(I can see a point in discussing the opposite: how to replicate in a real
darkroom what you can do with Photoshop. What is a simple levels or curves
in Photoshop would be quite tricky in darkroom color photo printing).

What is "digital darkroom"? I cant answer the question because I have
no idea what the question means.

Honest question, deserves honest answer. Like some others, I'm a little
puzzled by this, not knowing exactly what you mean by "digital darkroom".

But why not take this literally and at face value? If it's a digital
photographic method that involves darkroom processing at some point (by which
I assume one means wet printing using silver-based paper of some type), then
sure, why not discuss it? Let 'er rip, I say!

What's the point? If you "need" a charter in order to start a new group,
then so be it. Otherwise, charters only serve a useful purpose if they're
enforced. These are unmoderated groups. Charters aren't enforceable. The
charter is useless.

You will be the first to be killfiled.

It refers to a mental state - a dark one.
