I must be a fool to enjoy removing the oxide layer from a conductive
surface.

That's a bald faced lie, and you know it. Otherwise, no TV tuner
would have ever needed cleaning. Bird Watt meters would never give
false readings, and no one would have ever needed to polish their
silverware. Silver plated RF connectors would never overheat.

If forms a sulphide layer (Ag2S ) due to air containing some H2S from
burning fossil fuels etc.
