Kathy,

Why would you be concerned with 'long term solderability' issues when you
have this initial solderability condition to deal with? Seems to me the
argument should be the 'here and now', and not the 'what if'.

All I know about reliability studies are those I have first hand experience
with, and that being as I wrote above, if they fail from the beginning, they
will not get any better sitting on a shelf.

<smile> Something to ponder.
