Faisal, it makes sense. 

We're closer to the equator than the Sahara and the sun is very, very
strong and the nights cool and damp.  Perhaps that may have influenced my
experience.

Thanks, and you're right about the years...my sons are members of the
Quarter Century Wireless Association.

That is more likely due to exposure to sunlight and the exposure to the
elements...manufacturing practices have changed over the years...now
products have a shorter expected by design life expectancy..this is also
reflected in the price / cost... Not everything is getting build like
Sherman tanks !

Weep holes are necessary..and there is a reasonable size and location for
them..
