>advantages for the
consumer" did the BJP see in any Fuji-Kodak merger? Quite aside from price
competition, it was Fuji's aggressive marketing, with very good films, in
the US market in the mid-1980s that woke up Kodak and spurred them to
introduce some new, very good films of their own, a competition that
continues. Without that kind of prod from a competitor, E-6 shooters would
still be complaining about the failings of Ektachrome-X

Erwin should have made clear that this BJP article was a humorous, tongue in
cheek piece of fun.

Not to be taken seriously.

Please- let's not start another Internet rumour!
