Agreed. I have been doing it this way and if you follow the Ilford method (fill tank, 5 inversions, fill tank, 10 inversions, fill tank 20 inversions) there isn't a trace of fixer left. I usually double the first and last steps for good measure. The first, in order to rinse out the fixer, the last, because I still have water left over. A chemist (I think he was) tested Ilford's recommendation and his report is that it actually works. This is assuming your are using a fixer without hardener in it.
