someone who claims to be a psychoceramic emeritus (anyone know WTF that's supposed to mean?) should understand that water does evaporate at different rates, and electrons do flow at different speeds, depending on the environment. the rate of evaporation of any liquid depends on the vapor pressure present in the air in contact with the liquid surface. in the close confined space under the keys of a keyboard where the air does not circulate very well, it can indeed take days or longer to dry thoroughly, and it would also depend on the ambient relative humidity as well. and electrons do indeed flow a different rates, depending on the nature of the media through which they are flowing, so if someone is waiting for every single capacitor on a motherboard to discharge into space or thru an open circuit, it can take days or longer.
