The encroaching paradigm shift.

[Guest guest]

Isn't it amazing how people have begun sneaking " mold " into their

concepts in the last ten years. Especially when it is the very

people who fought " mold complainers " and bitterly debated the concept

earlier.

And if you watch carefully, you see that word get a little more

emphasis, a little more prominent, as time goes along.

Twenty years ago, you were an idiot for even thinking such a thing.

Ten years ago, it was laughable that someone should try to stretch

mold out of all reasonable proportion.

Five years ago, it became " generally accepted " (by a few people)

that mold in sufficient amounts could do this - but " That's highly

unlikely " .

And now.... mold just keeps creeping closer to the top of peoples'

lists.

A little more every day.
