I fail to see how this contradicts anything that I have said or refutes
anything I suggested.
I think I acknowledged that there were flatbed scanners that would do a
satisfactory job and that there may even be some dedicated mailing lists for
them. I went on to say that if an itemized listing of the scanners on the
market capable of handling 5x7 and larger films and doing a good job in
scanning them existed, I did not know of it. I still make that claim. One
person's putting forth one name does not make a list of those scanners. I
believe that the original message asked for a list of scanners and not
suggestions as to specific individual scanners (although I did find it
ambiguous if they were asking for an itemized listing of scanners or mailing
lists that focused on scanners used to scan that size film).
