   > I've worked with silver connectors (etc.) a lot back in the day (military   
   > equipment).  Silver oxide conducts BETTER than silver.   
      
   ** Silver oxide does not occur on silver coated items.   
      
    Nor is it a better conductor than pure silver - it is an insulator.   
      
      
   > So ignore the black 'patina-like' splotches on silver connectors,   
      
   ** The dark discolouration on silver is " silver sulphide "  -  a  poor   
   conductor.

   > they're making it a better conductor than it was before .   
      
   ** ROTFLMAO   !!!   
      
   That bollocks is one of the DUMBEST myths ever spread around the internet by   
   FUCKWITS like Boob.
