Maybe a good question or not-Capacitors

Electrolytic caps are know for drying out if they are old but my question is, do they dry up as a result of constant/frequent use or even resting in your cupboard unused over time.

Take a look at this:

Especially the "What Factors Affect Electrolytic Capacitor Life?"

Good info.
