Wow, Garry. You and Jack Fulton HAVE to go bowling together sometime! ;>)

To keep this on topic, let me note I have discovered that IME. CAW's statement that
alkaline gold toners produce higher contrast in POP prints than ammonium thio gold toners
is not the case. I compared an amm thio gold toned print and some borax gold toned prints
made on the same afternoon, and the amm thio ones were definitely better. The borax ones
had a "washed out" look. I'll try some other alkaline gold toners in the near future and
report back.

Cheers,
Christine

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry
into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It
both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums
of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind
has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry.
Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer
up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so.  How do I know? For this
is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
~Julius Caesar
