We're all wrong! Tantalums don't "fail" -- that's not zero-ohms
you measure across the two mangled pins -- it's INFINITE
CAPACITANCE!
I estimate my little 47uF/35VDC tant must now be, oh, a TF
or more (teraFarad). Of course it blows the 5amp fuse in the
power supply! The TC is measured in YEARS...
There's no other explanation possible.
None.
I am not listening to you.

You got a FLUX Capacitor by mistake and you need several terra-watts
of power for temporial displacment back to 1980. :)

I think I SAID I'm not listening to you! :-)
Actually, this was #2 of 2 posts; the other did not make
it. Here's what mail MTA says:
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

(conversation with mail.ezwind.net[209.145.140.19] timed out while sending
end of data -- message may be sent more than once)

AHA! This may explain the doubling of CC mail -- someone's
incoming MTA is a crock. The receiving MTA is probably ending
the connection before it completes SMTP gunk.
Or, it's one of those flux capacitors sending the mail back
in time.
