yes it can neutralize the system and not use explicit ions.
Explicit counterions may be more accurate for some things, but if you do
not
fully equilibrate their positions then it may be worse to include them.
You need
to decide which is best for you based on the goals and needs of your
project..

You will likely need to read articles in the literature, not just the
email archives.
Use the Amber list to find out HOW to do things, use refereed journals
to find
out WHAT to do. At least that is my opinion.
good luck!
