Replenishing Xtol 1+1/1:1

[Sirius Glass]

The proverbial elephant in the room is that Kodak clearly states that diluted Xtol should not be replenished. When the manufacturer of a product says don't do that most people listen. End of story!

Gee, when I pointed that out, the OP and others dug their heels in. What makes them think that they are smarter than the manufacturer or could possibly do more scientific tests than the manufacturer? [sarcasm] Then they will come back here and post "I did my own thing, ignored the directions, my photographs came out really crappy! The manufacturer really stinks and I will use someone else's product. Please help me boycott the manufacturer because I am really smarter than they are!"[/sarcasm]

No you didn't point that out, I did, in the OP. You just ranted, made attempts to derail the thread away from the OP and made disrespectful insinuations. Like you are above.

This is exactly why I usually stick to asking completely abstracted questions as opposed to anything specific, as people will be unhelpful, won't endeavor to answer the actual question with any kind of reference, and instead will repeatedly try to push their own agenda/alternatives. IE; people will not be objective, and will insert very questionable subjectivity.

I agree. Far too often when someone posts a question the answers received are merely personal preference or speculation without any corroborating data. Even worse is when they go off topic completely. If one should post a question on D-76 they are not interested in hearing that they should be using supermicrofinegrainol.
