Frank, do you have a container of dielectric grease which says the stuff is
a conductor???  That's really shocking.  Hehe.

Seriously, it works even though it's actually an insulator (eg,
"dielectric").  The film of grease is displaced by metal to metal contacts
and helps keep those connections gas tight.  //Jack
