Tri-x 400/220 Petition?

[MikeSeb]

You must be speaking of your human nature or lack there of. I find it curious that many of your post's are laced with negativity and a misplaced view of elitism that you have placed upon yourself as though you are some type of "Quasi GOD of Photography". Tell me..is your soul truly as miserable as your writings would suggest?

Jamusu.

My soul is just fine, but thanks for asking. Not sure how elitism came into this. I think elitism and arrogance go hand in hand---such as expecting Kodak to keep losing money because I demand it. Not so humble, that.

I hold myself to be no God of anything, just a mortal man who tries to make sense of the nonsense that swirls about him, constantly, in a world seemingly devoted to the propagation of bullsh-t. If participating in forums like this one, and asking people to try to make rational sense rather than appeal to emotion and speculation is "negativity", then yes, I'm filled with negativity.

If you think I'm wrong, refute me; otherwise, move on. Have a nice day, regardless.

The only petition that works is people buying product. Kodak is making these decisions -- harsh as they might seem -- based on sales and certainly not sentiment.

That said, I lament the loss of Kodakachrome, HIE and Tech Pan and Panatomic-X and Verichrome Pan, 127 film and 126 Instamatic film.

I'll write a letter because that always seems to have more impact but if anyone is emailing Kodak can be spoken with at Kprotraditional@kodak.com or 1-800-242-2424 option 19.

Good idea.

I will work out the fine details of the petition tonight and post on this thread to see what needs to be added or removed before a final copy is submitted. Hopefully we will get some signatures.

PE might have something diffrent but I have sent Kodak mail to 343 State Street, Rochester NY 14650.

yeah, i think the problem here is that there 2 kind of people "rational-statment" type, and emotional guys.
Maybe we should establish that all of the latest posts about film deletions from kodak were only for "emotional guys". Doing so we could cut off all of these childish accusations about if we know more or less than kodak or if we have any clue about business management. I think guys, and is pretty obvious to me, that these post are just emotionalish, is like when your favorite team lose or when your wife dump you, they are emotional discharges, so let them be and tell your statments somewhere else, thanks!

Jamasu. Don't take any of this personally. I don't recall my particular instance (not worth the research) but I took it personally. It is not negativity. As I stated, it is reality. I am the inventory control specialist for Fisher Auto Parts in the Milford De store. A position I take seriously. If we have six different manufacturer's of the same product and three do not sell, eventually they get relegated to the warehouse. Now in my instance it is still available. But unless the customer is willing to wait a day or two (seldom happens) they simply buy what is presently available.

This is the premise that any business, including The Great Yellow Father, operates within. A dog is a dog. And if the product is a dog then it will no longer be ofered because there is no MASS MARKET for it any longer. Sure, there are niche markets but livelihoods and corporate survival cannot depend on such favoritism.

Again, it's only reality. Perhaps direct realism at times. Don't take it personally. It is not intended as such. Your desire is commendable and perhaps you might accomplish something. If you choose to pursue this then we all wish you luck and will help you in anyway possible. Personally, there is far more film to shoot than to worry about being discontinued and for me something like this would take away from my creative energy and my ability to consume the very thing I wish to perserve.

Huh?

I am a bit lost. What did you take personally?
