    Thanks.  That's what I thought.  It's not the water that does it -
    its the chemical residue that diffuses into the water.  When they
    complain of "oxidizing" when exposed to "humidity", its probably due
    to the chemical FUMES from the unvented copper plating process
    causing the problem, and not the humidity per se.
