Joe,

May not be related but have been around overseas shipping containers
that have traveled "a long long way"...the point is that when the
containers were opened, it was not un common to see little piles of
micro fine powder that had erroded from shipping internal shipping
containres, packageing and product it self...It was never clear to me
where that kind of vibration originated, and no one involved seem to be
particularly interested in the phenomena either...??

Seems that is some way, some kinds of shipping can produce what I
"speculate" is high frequencey vibration that can produce the kind of
situation u describe...Truck, ships, how or where...I have no
explanaiton....but I've seen it...

73,

Gene
