So you are or you aren't using ICE for your B&W?

I leave it turned off for everything except color negatives.  E-6 usually comes
back very clean from the lab I use, and my own B&W is usually blemish-free,
despite my rather casual development habits (which means that the lab must be a
lot more reckless, given the number of scratches they manage to put on C-41).
