I'm constantly amazed when REALLY old threads pop up again, but I have been known to resurrect a few myself.
As Bob says, times and developers etc. can all change some what, in time, as in this case, 11 years.
Good luck with your developing Rob, which ever film and developer combination you decided to try. As you say, I too think I would have started with a standard combination for my first go in ages. Maybe the second or third film I might have strayed from the path though...
Do let us know how it all goes
