That was me!!  That was me!!  I'll note that Greg used the word "probably"
so I'll not take any offense.  But I buy Castrol LMA brake fluid by the
quart, too.  It was some OTHER phenomenon filling my clutch cylinder with
black crud.  Not only would I constantly and thoroughly FLUSH the pipe and
hose with clean fluid, (and once or twice with alchohol) but I eventually
REPLACED the pipe and hose in hopes that THAT would solve my problem, but
the crud returned every time.

Just had to preserve my reputation here... don't want to get labeled as a
"DPO!!"
