Its about time some order was brought to this list and while we're at it, I must say how shocked I am at the disrespectful attitude displayed towards that other evil compound Ouzo. I quote from my own personal data sheet: - can cause inaccurate exposure calculations - can severe property damage from knocking over shot glass while trying to light it on fire - can cause unstable bonding of people in social situations - can cause weakening and eventual breaking of bonds in familial situations - cannot be used as photographic developer 'in a pinch' - not effective as contract negotiating catalyst Greg
