Re: Not Stupid You Barbara

[Guest guest]

Barbara,

It is by no means " Stupid You, " as you put it. I have been on this board

for a couple years, and before that had educated myself about mold. Thought

I had a great handle on it before I came here. I had the same problem, and

still sometimes get stumped not only by the abbrev. but also some of the big

words.

Some people make it easy to understand, and realize that new people are here

and try to make it easy to read. Others, talk in a way that is very hard to

understand. Not only for yourself, but also for some-like myself who have

been here for awhile, and have been active in this mold world for years.

Most of us here want you to understand, and are more than happy to explain

to you what the abbrev. means. You can always private e-mail to, or like

you did ask KC, or open forum, which ever you are more comfortable with.

I am sorry that this problem has made it hard to understand. It is a problem

that has been brought up before, to make it simple to understand for all.

But, for some reason it is hard for some to do that. Hopefully, it will be

made easier for all very soon. It will help many, along with myself.
