Sean,
That's sort of what I thought, as well. It's pretty tricky, trying to offset
excess humidity with excess drying. I even know some guitarists who put a
humidifier inside their case in dry climates -- the opposite problem.
Maybe a hydrometer is actually the best overall defense against a cracked or
warped acoustic guitar.

Your nuts! Unless you live in the Amazon, your going to dry out your wood
and they will start to crack and seperate.
The silicone will remove to much moisture from the case, especially in the
area where they are residing.
Just my opinion; and you know what they say about opinions... Everyone one
has one, like butt holes, and they all stink! Smile!
