I find it less personal, less conversational. Better (with the example above) that I had just said 'You all suck and I don’t! 
’ and then launched into a REAL smush-post melding all their comments and my responses together in a big paragraph. This is all because I can’t email respond anymore which is nobody’s fault and is better for the mods and forum as a whole (the poll was CLEAR!) but it still needs to be said for the record.
