Yeah, that's the name! He's the guy who claims that Agfa Brovira was
overly 
contrasty and he could never get a good print. (Its grades were about one 
lower than Kodak, back when they both made graded paper, and Agfa went
from 
0 to 6.) He also claimed that the Leica was the best camera in the world, 
and the Fuckamat enlarging lenses were the very best, and that photography

could not possibly be an art. Didn't he rename his masterpiece to Doughnut

Boy? Or is that his new moniker?

Anyway, he claimed to be an authority on B&W film development and his 
recommendation(s) were in Digital Truth. Be suspicious of ANYTHING that
says 
it is the truth.

Anyway, OP, so develop some Tri-X 125 in 60F or colder water and let us
know 
how it goes for you. Or don't. I would choose a more active developer for 
cold water, something recommended for such an application. But WTF do I 
know? I just started taking picture and making wet prints FIFTY years ago.

My next post will be more to the point of the post. Cold development 
solutions (no pun).
