Hey, Jim.

I also soak split peas and
>lentils etc for one to two days for the same reasons.

Damnit, Jim!  I'm a cook, not a swimming pool!  Seriously, do your lentils
end up too mushy?  I usually don't soak lentils at all, especially when
cooking dal - I just simmer a bit longer.  Makes all the flavors "soak in",
I think...  I also like mine a bit chewier than most people, and have never
had digestion problems with lentils or split peas ('course, I very rarely
have digestion problems with many things others do...)
