George,
It must have something to do with a full moon or something like that if the
moon isn't full! :-0 Exposing and developing for whatever always throws me
off because I never used it nor ever thought of it in any fashion in all my
years as a shooter. I only related to it when shooting slide film and it was
always... "expose for the highlights and all else will look after itself!"
:-) B&W? What the hell it looked after itself when I put the reels in the
soup! :-)

The past few weeks almost make one yearn for the good old days when we were
more "gear & learning photography in simple terms" compared too lately!

Given that one might expect the majority of the crew are well versed in
exposing for whatever and developing for the other thing. So I'm surprised
we see this surfacing again.:-)

Oh well what the hell, tomorrow may bring on a fine conversation of the
sweetness of single malt very fine Scotch over water! ;-) And if a major
word battle breaks out over that subject we'll know the Martian's have
landed and taken over the White House! ;-)
