No, but on the other hand will most materials attrack water more or less. This
is one of the things which PTFE is good at, since it is among those materials
which dislikes water the most. This is part of why PTFE is a good isolator/
dielectrum. I am sure someone will point out what unlovely chemicals it does
drink.

Sure, and if you are not the only one, then we will have a nice little geology
fight (stones being thrown all over - stick your hands out and you may pick
a valueble one if you are lucky).

Cheers,
Magnus - who lives near the place of the original sighting of Gadolinite ;O)
