Sam My thinking tells me the capacitor does not store electrons.
You should spend some time in a library, Glazier, while you
still can... zip up your pants, get to the library, and learn
something about capacitors and their history. Go on.... git!
Sammy, if you visited the library with Glazier,
you'd discover that the charge on a capacitor
is stored in the dielectric,
The charges are on the plates, not within the dielectric.
