Is it possible to overwater succulents?

I heard an interesting suggestion at a nursery a couple of
years ago. A woman had come in that was not from here (from
the north). She had purchased a couple of cactii and had
question after question for the nurseryman about care of the
cactii. After politely answering far too many questions, he
told her:
Subscribe to the Phoenix newspaper. When it says it rained,
water the cactus.
Not too helpful in this instance, but I thought it was funny.

It's actually not a bad suggestion. ;-)
For succulents, I just let the soil totally dry out between waterings.
Helps to prevent soil fungus.
