It seems to be generally accepted that storing PWB's in a heat sealed 
bag reduces solderability, can that same concern be extended to stored 
components?
     What about components with solderable plating other than tin-lead?  Is 
there any solderable plating that is not affected adversely by heat sealing 
the storage bag?
     Were the negative rumors about heat sealing started by some disgruntled 
heat seal manufacturing employee?
     Since nothing turned up in a search of the achieves, I'm interested in 
any comments.
