You must be thinking of another message written by someone else. I didn't
refute it. In fact, I read your message with interest. The mold theory
is pretty well accepted around here, but I've never read any solid
technical treatise on how and why it happens. I still believe it is mold,
but I'd like to try what you did with your CRT to see if I can get the
"mold spots" to sprout up like you say happened to you.
Can you elucidate a bit on how the mold spots developed when you pried up
the safety glass with the screw driver? Are you sure the spots weren't
already there?
