I completely agreed with all your statements Joe. I just get uncomfortable when there's suddenly a bunch of people saying "I compete without them and they cause ulcers". Makes me worry that a bunch of people in hot humid climates will throw down their syringes and think it was all just a big mistake.



Angie,

I wouldn't worry much. It is a self correcting problem. If people in the SE what to listen to the "anti-electrolyte" on the electronic list instead of the people who have ridden the region for years or the vets who have seen it for years, that's their choice but I suspect they will either learn fast or not be around long. Our loops are normally short enough and vets good enough that the horses can be saved from a rider trying the latest "Internet fad" be it the "horseshoing is horse abuse" or "electrolytes are the work of the devil" camps on the Internet.
