Hi Joe,

The content of your message sounded like you meant to send it to the list, but
it only came to me, so I am forwarding it to the list.

I haven't tried POTA yet, but from the formula I think it will work. In fact,
most soft-working developer will probably work. I haven't tried it because I
don't have Phenidone with me, but I think metol-alone or low hydroquinone
formula in low alkaline will also work. The low alkaline will give lower
density ingeneral, and the metol alone or low hydroquinone will give better
toe separation.
