I would certainly appreciate seeing a "good" print of yours on
Palladio. I am open to changing my opinion on the stuff. But as I
said, SHOW ME THE PRINTS. I've even seen some of the demo work from
Palladio representatives which, to say the least, gave a bad impression.

You also bring up an excellent point of the use of abbreviations and
symbols. I have no idea what is meant by "Pl" (other than guessing by
the context). Anyone in the world can pick up a periodic table and find
the "Pt" means platinum. There's a P, Pd, Pt, Pb, Po, Pr, Pm, Pa, and
Pu (I guess this one stinks, HA).

It certainly makes sense that any article or description of photographic
processes, if and when using abbreviations or symbols, should use the
standard chemical symbols. This has been the standard nomenclature used
throughout the world. This seems to be the only way one can fully
understand an article on chemical processes.
