Thank you all, you experienced oboists, for your comments about the forked-F fingering becoming acceptable on modern oboes.
I have the left-F and F-res on both my oboes, but found it very easy to learn and use the forked-F (both left and right) -- perhaps as a result of earlier years playing recorder. I have read often bout forked-F being a no-no because of suspect intonation and color, but in my experience, it just isn't that way -- it's a pretty decent note, actually.
I also keep the F-res almost closed -- much better time on the low notes that way.
