Dennis W.Josh you state:
"I cant understand why anyone would be upset to learn that the card you just bought once had scrap book paper attached if removal of the paper was all that was done (ie no eliminating wrinkles, no cleaning, no bleaching, no trimming, etc)."
I think part of the reason some people have a problem with soaking paper residue off is that you really can't do it without cleaning the card. It's a byproduct of the process. Also, when you dry a card between books it does lesson and/or remove wrinkles. That too is a byproduct of the process. To be clear I'm only talking about soaking paper off a card and drying it between books.
In other words it's a matter of "you can't have your cake and eat it too", if you want the paper off you gotta clean it (not you specifically but anyone with cards containing residue).
