***OLE: Excess moisture is either the result of something leaking or 
the result of high-humidity condensating (or just being present in the 
air). I have honestly never been to a tropical place where this does 
not hit you as soon you step off the plane. Leaks can be fixed, the 
latter is a lot harder to deal with comprehensively. Cold places have 
DRY air, so dry that we use humidifiers in the winter.

***OLE: Glad there is a test, but I still not sure what a spot-check
would uncover that we could realistically deal with prior to venue
selection, beyond the obvious extreme cases. The same goes for 
second-hand smoke which we all encounter every day in one form or
another, some places more than others (I am in France at the moment,
yikes).

***OLE: Sure, I am just trying to point out that HUMIDITY is the 
source of much evil in this context, I'd love to see properly 
climate-controlled rooms, but I have not seen many in any hotel or
meeting venue in the world. High humidity = tropical places, Singapore
being a prime example.
