Le chatelier's

This makes sense- but I just want to be sure I am understanding this correctly. Adding or removing a substance that is NOT in the equilibrium expression, such as a solid, has no effect on the state of the rxn at equilibrium- so le chatlier's pricinple does not apply?
-------------
Yes.  Raising or lowering the amount of a solid or liquid will not disturb the equilibrium because these terms are not even part of the Keq of the reaction.
