Ooh, dear!  Getting a little itsy, are we?  I'm obviously not the
exceptionally talented and gifted photographer and darkroom craftsman that
you are, but I've met a few of the people here on the LUG who use Tri-X
and seen their work.

To call them "incompetent", or to hint that people use Tri-X to hide thier
incompetence, is not only exceptionally rude, it also displays the kind of
rash stupidity that only ignorance can afford.
