I _know_ this to be true, I just had to pass on my experience with the grease. If anyone's got a logical explanation for why this would happen (current bleed across a thin film of dielectric grease), I'd love to hear the explanation. This just happened to me last week so the experience is still fresh.

Who knows, maybe I got the "electric" grease and it was just mislabeled :). I'm going to check the resistance of the grease tonight and let the list know what I find.
