Based on what I remember: Mike wanted to rescan the LPP and Negative1 snubbed him. I also remember Negative1 making jabs at IB prints, saying they were not as detailed as his print and that his own print was even better.
Perhaps someone was bitter at Mike’s philosophy of keeping this private and pitching it as a viable commercial product, so -1 took things into his own hands? I’m just speculating here, of course. I would like to hear -1’s point of view on this.
