I didn't say I don't like it. I said I don't understand what it refers to. 
To what does it refer, specifically, in the context of the subject thread? 
What specific statement or expression in this discussion, in your opinion, 
constitutes "dumping on people"?

No, I don't forget. I know conversational email when I see it, and 
Techwr-l certainly is it. But conversational needn't mean 
"incomprehensible."
