Diane, do I understand what you are saying to mean that, although what
Thomas is saying may be true, that male and female saliva is somewhat
different, (he does qualify his statement by saying that the populations
tested were prisoners and conscripts), the differences in pH really are =
not
enough for a woman to, say wear out her reeds more quickly than a man =
would

Actually, I didn't address the issue at all... There are plenty of really =
"odd" places that the genders differ (meaning that the difference doesn't =
really seem to have anything to do with reproductive physiology). There =
is sufficient overlap in the ranges suggested that I don't think this one =
is important, but I've never studied it...=20
