But that's rubbish, the presence of lime mortar or not
has no relevance as to whether Dry Rot could form in the above case.

I don't think you can dismiss the effect that easily -

" without the _necessary_ lime mortar for dry rot)"

was the quote, Yes its more likely No its not a necessary ingredient, so
anyone reading this thinking oh its ok I haven't got Lime mortar so I cant
have Dry Rot.
