Log K and more help please!

Dear David(if it is ok to call you David),

Thank you for explaining the logK concept to me, however, I am still a little confused. In theory, I should convert the K into the zero ionic strength K before I enter it into the input file to be consistent with the Ks listed in the Phreeqc database.   In reality, all my experiments are carried out in 0.1 M sodium nitrate medium.  Does PHREEQC take the K at zero ionic strength condition, convert it to the value that suits the ionic strength at which my experiments are conducted and hence does the output file list the species distribution at 0.1 M, i.e. the ionic strength I used?  

If I enter the K at 0.1 M into the input file, does Phreeqc assume this is the K at zero ionic strength and hence go through the normal conversion process, i.e. convert this K that is already at 0.1 M to a 'wrong' value at 0.1 M before it predicts the species distribution?

I apologize if I bother you too much and thank you for your help.
