If DOT 5 doesn't absorb water how can any appreciable amount get into the 
system unless someone pours it in?  I understand that you might get some 
condensation but very small volume of air to get any appreciable amount of 
air in the system for it to condense out of, likewise some condensation when 
the system is open (cap off) but cant see again how an appreciable amount 
would get into the system limited surface area (and time) for condensation 
to occur.  Also, Count me as one who converted without doing more than 
blowing out the sytem with air, and no bad result, also really didn't notice 
any difference in pedal feel.
