I started out with a simple reply, but now my head hurts...

Is it possible to have a conductive dielectric ?

If I wern't on vacation right now, I'd glue some tin foil on the sides
of a glass jar and see how the capacitance changes with distilled and
salt water...

How come you guys come up with these interesting threads when I'm stuck
in a log cabin, typeing on a laptop by a kerosene lamp ???
