Brake Fluid Info?

Hello, list-partners.

I think I'm losing what little of my mind is still left.  Some time 
in the past year, I remember seeing a nice, comprehensive post on 
brake fluid which compared both the hygroscopic qualities and boiling 
points of about a half-dozen fluids.  The context was a discussion of 
which fluids to use to minimize water accumulation in the system and 
to maintain a high boiling point.

I thought I had this post archived - but I'll be darned if I can find 
it.  I thought it appeared on this list, and that one of Ford's 
fluids was among the least hygroscopic and had one of the highest 
boiling points - but I'm not sure.

If this rings a bell with anyone who might have the post archived, 
I'd be grateful if they'd re-post the information.  I'd like to do 
some brake fluid replacement over the weekend, but I'm lacking the 
info I needed to pick up the fluid.  Right now I'm using Castrol LMA, 
but I seem to remember that there were better fluids according to the 
post.

Thanks in advance!
