I've not got time to waste with this.  I KNOW that was I said is correct and
based on fact.  You really need to go look at the spectral response curves
for color and B&W films, and you will see what I said is true.

No, I did not say that, and in true Anthony form, you are putting words in
my mouth to somehow try to convince your self that you aren't wrong.  I said
that the spectral response of Portra is sufficient to encompass Tri-X, which
is what the issue is, period, and my statement is purely fact, and not
disputable.
