Phil, you're absolutely right -- the equipment is designed and supposed to be used. I just feel sorry for the shutter, that's all. : P
Also, the 5D Mark II can handle a bit of water. I've taken mine out under several waterfalls where I've gotten drenched, the camera has got wet, and it has been fine. Yes, it's not weather-sealed to the extent of a 1Ds/1D body, but, it's served me well thus far.
Cheers.
