Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.

I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in

A dim amber bulb shone through a haze of cigarette smoke.
The atmosphere was stifling. Along one wall was a bench

with a drain running through its length. Photographic
dishes stood at intervals along it. On a table off to the side
stood a battered enlarger, while yet another table, covered
in lead sheet, contained a number of large bottles.
"I'm 'Arry," said the man, "Make up yer solutions so I
kin see how yer shape." As an afterthought, he added "We
always use Johnson's Contrasty, brings 'em up rea1 good."
