I'm not talking about FAB exclusively.... ALL tyes of bacteria should act
the same way.. or FAB must be special, and if so... why is it special?
Is it magically active? No? Then why does it work more than other bacteria?

The problem people on this list have is one of logic, because we're all
pedantic skags and enjoy a good debate. You should know this if you're
following the barrier debate at all.

Tell us..... we all want to hear more.

Yeah right. The only reason I got back on this topic is because FAB can
be associated with astral movement in water, etc.

As far as I guess all bacteria does work like FAB, the difference is that
FAB and FAB UV are pumped into sealed rooms and walls in muc greater
quantities, making them denser and therefore the astral mage more
noticable. I'd imagine bacteria normally moves to some degree anyway as
the air moves, only in completely sealed and stagnant places would the
bacteria remain totally still. (I think :)
