Ah, but Chris, you have admirably suceeded in repeating your yellow
experience, but you have NOT proved the cause ! It could be just
something in South Carolina... or you may have sodium carbonate in the
wall board. To prove your thesis that it's caused by X, you have to
produce a piece of non-X that doesn't yellow.

Meanwhile, the suspense is excellent.
