I work with vacuum in the 1x10^-7 all the time - vacuum manifolds evacuated with turbomolecular pumps.

Back in the days when I did organic chemistry synthesis, we would often dry our liquid reagents with molecular sieve. The water would get bound to the mole sieve and we'd regenerate it when the bottle of reagent was empty. How? By putting it in a vacuum oven. We'd pull a fairly strong lab vacuum via lab vane pump, then heat the oven to 70 degrees Celsius. This would drive all of the water out of the molecular sieve. Just vacuum or just heat will not regenerate molecular sieve. Silica gel media also does not regenerate in just vacuum or just heat. Pretending that this process is fully reversible without additional treatment is ignorance at it's best.

I'm guessing that wwest got the hook because he was bashing Griff.

He'll be back with his same old abusive crap, except avoiding bashing Griff - we'll still have to put up with his stupid lies.

I hope Bob is successful in getting wwest canned for good. Bob - as a moderator on an Audi site, don't ask for moderator status. You might get it, and there's just about no volunteer job worse in this world.
