Alex, is that true if the sleeve case doesn't travel? I have one with over 200 pages which just sits near my desk. If I take it anywhere, which I've only done once or twice, it is always zippered closed until we are out of the car and in wherever we are staying.

My sister records all of her CDs onto new blanks and uses those copies for her travelling, so the originals are always at home in their sleeves.

Sorcha, I had a silversmith friend show me the same thing with toothpaste; told me to use it on all of my silver jewellry, which I've done with great results. I was shocked in metalsmithing class at how much abrasive, polishing, and sandpaper was used, even to the final stages, on fine silver.
