Actually, distilled water IS (usually) pure water. Or close enough to it. It's water that's gone through a process called "distillation". There are other ways to get pure water, so all pure water isn't distilled :) And actually, not all distilled water is pure -- it depends on the equipment and other factors. De-mineralized water falls under the same rules -- it has to have had it's minerals removed. And more often than not, de-mineralized water IS distilled. And yes, I know I'm an anal assface...
And I'm a tool, too -- of course water is NOT a good insulator. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. It's a great conducter, just of heat and not electricity (again, pure water). The actual number for conductivity for water is something like 3 ppm (inorganic material). Sorry for my goof up.
Apathy is right, and I am not. DOH! ignore my last posts on this I screwed up ;)
