    Well it's good to know there's an actual reason for the "warning" other than mission just getting on a high horse, which was my original thought. I still think the tone could have been a little different. I would actually be interested to know if in the past someone drank some skimmate after reading a joke with serious ill effects. If so, that's just population control. :)


    At any rate, skimmate is salt and if you skim fast and wet, like I have been, it can almost even be considered a water change since you will have to replace what you dump out with new saltwater.
