- Jobst, maybe you don't sweat on cold days, but
- you're all wet (and it is pretty darn cold out right now).

- No, from the original request, we can infer only that the questioner
- actually was interested in getting some fluid into his/her mouth in
- contexts where the fluid was becoming solid. You have allowed your
- personal experience and pet-peeves to bias your understanding of the
- request and, in turn, have suggested unbecoming motives of those who
- like to stay fully hydrated. I find it amusing that you havn't let up
- once you were called on it.
-
- Keep the signal-to-noise ratio high.
