A few days ago I posted here and, after one intelligent response, my entire thread was deleted by APUG. I am not angry. I am genuinely intrigued. I must have aroused someone even though my intentions were noble.
My post was about something that, also, a dozen years ago, was quickly hushed-up. Quickly and definitivly hushed-up. What 'deviance' had I promulgated? I talked about something with a protrusion. WOW!
A dozen years ago one of the photo magazines had a half-page article, complete with photo, about a 'cassette' that looked like a 35mm film cassette with a protrusion that looked like a normal cassette with film leader. It was, actually, a digital capture device that would conveniently fit into a 35mm SLR, like film would, and allow digital capture at the film aperture of the SLR (hence, the 'protrusion' sensor which fit conveniently over the film aperture).
I was curious as to whether any here remembered that prototype and whether the marketing forces for digital cameras quickly assassinated that entreprenuerial attempt (talk about the 'free market', ha!). Producing this device would surely cut into the 'necessity' of manufacturing digital cameras but, as I clearly remember, no further talk was 'allowed' in that magazine (Popular Photography???) after that publisher's 'mistake'. Now, more of the same' protection of the vulnerable' at APUG.ORG with their deletion of my 'dangerous' post???
This David Lyga is truly lethal.This deletion is surely more relevatory and more revealing than genuine is 'hard core' pornography, I think. Thoughts? - David Lyga

I believe there were also some rumors at that time about digital backs for certain still-popular (at that time) 35mm & medium format film SLRs.

I'm guessing it was deleted because it involved digital capture, a topic better suited to DPUG.
