Dear Mr. Boggs,
It looks to me like there are:
1. many areas on which we agree;
2. areas that you understand much better than I (without much study) regarding insurance policy lingo/coverage; and
3. areas that I understand much better than you (without much study) regarding public policy in conjunction with insurance coverage and mold induced injury.
And.. you are right! Builders and insurers are already scared. So are sick people. Fear is the driving force behind much of the unnecessary contention over the matter.
I think I will wait for your next article in the series before I comment further. Maybe it will offer me more clarification as to what you are saying with this series. You can show me mold injury and insurance policies as it relates to construction defect coverage. I will show you mold and public policies as it relates to insurance. The two areas are very much connected as insurance concerns drive much of the public health policy over the issue.
If you search the phrase, "Amid Suits Over Mold Experts Wear Two Hats" it will take you to several links that show you what I and many others see as a primary area of confusion over this matter that fuels contention, misinformation and thus litigation that is scary indeed for all involved. The above is the title of a Wall Street Journal article, Jan 2007.
I look forward to reading your next article. When should I check back?
Take care and call me "Sharon".
