So, is schnapps whiskey a detergent, solvent, surfactant, or beverage... or
all of the above? Wait, I know it's at least a beverage 'cause bassy said
so. :-

be called detergents?

Yes, depending on context. If you were discussing cleaning materials
to be ADDED TO water, then of course you wouldn't count the water
itself as a detergent. However, if you were comparing various
substances as cleaners, among them water, then you would count the
water as a detergent.

Your 7 identical responses to the single question obviously now places you
as the expert on 'detergents', sharing the stage with none other than
basskisser.

He is posting through Google - as we all know with Uncle Timmy, Google
can and often does, odd things to posts.

Not his fault - and as I am currently anti-Google for a number of
reasons, it's their fault.

Or I could blame Canada - in fact, I will blame Canada. Just because I
can.

I'm interested in his response - I never quite looked at cleaners that
way before. In a sense, anything can be considered a detergent.

Which would mean that a different definition is in order perhaps?
