Hi Justin

I saw this and had a question.
How important is it for a charge group to be neutral?

In one of my systems I model a solvent of crown ethers using an all atom
model. The smallest neutral unit comprises a CH2-O-CH2 (7 atoms). I have
used this as a charge group to and get no warnings.

Cheers

Gavin
