Sorry pal, I'm unable to believe any old absolutist statement that
comes out of your piehole. If you're saying that your perception is
that that there's no difference in the humidity in a gas or electric
stove, we don't have any problem. If you claim that this is a fact -
please back it up. I grew up with a gas stove and am quite able to
recognize steam when I feel it. Also recognize that science in general
does not rely on making statements without any proof.
