This really should of gone in the rants section but I thought it would serve a better purpose here.
AS5 IS NOT ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE, whoever spread this lie should be shot, because it seems to of spread around the net like a cancer? Has anyone actually ever tried to transmit a current through the stuff? it won't happen for you, the only traits it has is that it is slightly capacitive, so what? The amounts of capacitance we are talking about here as so miniscule they aren't even worth considering, that dust on your mobo is more likely to cause electrical lines to short. You have more chance of shorting out a part of your mobo by getting a drop of your sweat on it while you are worrying about keeping that dangerous AS5 off of everything.
Has anyone actually done any tests with the stuff to try and cause a problem to happen? Its like when they warn people to not use their mobiles beside petrol pumps... the risks are so miniscule but never the less the companies need to protect themselves from being liable so it warns against even the slightest occurance of something.
This needs to stop now. If someone thinks otherwise,
