After you get done obsessing over this, do your self a
favor- Learn how to clean contacts without stripping the
gold off. What worked in a half-assed trial does not equate
to proof that today's faster bussed, hotter running, more
power hungry systems will fare as well.

Another tip- If you find thoughts of prozac, depression,
and loneliness entering your head, it's all a
self-projection. Just because _you_ think about these
things doesn't mean others do, and until you can manage to
be technically correct in a technical group, you're insults
will fly more like troll fodder than anything else.
However, since you do think about these things I pity you,
and still wish you a nice day.

Where are your links to prove me wrong?

All you have done is made assumptions about what I'm doing. You haven't
listened to a word I've said. But I guess that is to be expected of someone
who thinks they know everything.

You made no mention of specific erasers formulated to be
non-abrasive, and the common types of (even low-abrasive)
erasers are not suitable. What more was there to "listen
to"? Claiming the contact works better after a layer of
gold is worn off compared to being too dirty to make contact
isn't really a success compared to cleaning it
non-destructively. Even so, if that's how YOU want to do it
and plan to be responsible for any consequences, so be it.

Do it however you want to.
It's really not worth all this back-and-forth over it, I've
spent all the time on this topic I care to, am not willing
to spend any more time to dig up a ton of links to further
this argument/thread. One might infer it though simply by
noting the presence of liquid contact cleaners and gold
replating, repair kits for contacts, but since I am not the
one making the original claim that an eraser is suitable for
gold contact cleaning, I'm not the one with the burden of
proof. Supply any documents you want, but I'm done...
