[alt-photo] Re: Stoichiometry for the nonscientist

[Katharine Thayer]

Huh?  I'm quite sure I didn't say that stoichiometry refers only  to  
chemical reactions in photography, or that it's only found in  
Wikipedia;  in fact the word doesn't even occur in the (basically  
unreadable to the layperson)  excerpt David quoted from the  
"internet" which I suspected probably came from Wikipedia.
