I've been darkroom mixing since the mid-60's, so I applaud what 
everybody is doing.

I wasn't arguing the use of LFN.  Just asking if that minute addition 
was necessary.  Bill and Paul's test will tell.

As to other surfacants, Triton X 100 is readily available and widely 
used.  Anyone tried that?  The only minor issue is see is the (again, 
minute) amount of hydrogen peroxide used they be act as a bleach to 
OBAs. The flip side of that is it acts as a biocide.  There are variants 
of Triton out there that may not have H2O2.

Just food for thought.
