Quite true. I think I fit into a somewhat broad and indeterminate margin between "most people" and the chosen few proper hard men (:wink and am probably too willing to try anything that might make me feel a bit less like crap than I do after a few hours. Thanks for explaining that bit about the body ignoring osmolarity under stress; very interesting (I shall remind my own body which continues to sweat profusely and saltily long after I wish it would stop!)
