Thanks for all the responses!
I guess part of the reason I started this thread was I wasn't really sure how people around here really felt about the subject. I know much is said on a forum without a thought to the outsider reading it and words can easily be taken out of context. On the surface it might seem like snobbery but I don't think it is.
I understand the the virtues of film. In fact anything I post here will be taken with film as I don't own a Pentax DSLR. I'm one of those clueless Canon users! haha.
I think there are plenty of younger people who see and feel the differences in film. I've done a bit of concert shooting for a few local bands and one day I brought my P30 to a show and when the artist saw the results she said "You should do all your shoots like that!!!". I had taken plenty of high quality digital shots with some of the best lenses in Canon's line up but she proffered the grainy B&W images of film. So I don't think film is only for the old timers. I think there is a whole new generation discovering the virtues of film.
but I'm still not giving up my DSLR.
