Why is spit such a good defogger? You spit in your mask, give it a quick rinse and you are ready to go. You would think that little of the spit defog would even remain after rinsing it

It's not. At best, it's a poor substitute.
Dang Walter, I use spit all the time and it keeps my mask happy and fog free.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I agree with Johnnythan, Walter. I've never used anything but my spit and my mask is always clear (unless I forgot to spit before I go under).
Don't spit in it next time but just "visualize" that you did, see what happens. Gotta say though, urine sure doesn't work! 
fookisan:
Because nothing, not even condensation, wants to go where spit has been....
The way I understand it (disclaimer: I'm about as challenged in the laws of physics as a human being can be....) spit molecules bond (stick) to the same microscopic imperfections in the glass that water condense would use to get a foot-hold. Since there's nothing for teh condensation to attach to it just doesn't form.

I am a little old school, but I prefer spit.
It's kinda like my Jet Fins - I keep replacing them with something new and improved, but I always go back to them.

spit on each side of the mask, rub it in. then rinse it JUST ONCE, and wear.
