Thanks for a nice morning chuckle. It's just so funny, the passion for shooting film...and then, take a digital picture (aka scan) of it. The kicker is a section entitled "Collecting and Using Classic 35mm SLR's". That's really what it's about, isn't it? I know one or two guys personally who still shoot film and they print with an optical enlarger in a wet darkroom. When those guys say they prefer film over digital, I can't argue. But when you take a digital picture of a neg, well....that is digital, just a clunky way of getting to a digital file that lets you use a "classic" film camera.
