My post was by no means a troll.

But Viktor, it's really out-of-line when a non-native English speaker -- and by
this I specifically mean Weitse, not you -- chooses to tell us what should and
should not be understood clearly from how he uses the language.
There's an old Yiddish saying, "When two say 'drunk,' the third lies down for a
nap." If several people tell you your language is unclear, then it's unclear.

(This spills over to his "where does it say Postfix does XYZ?" game. If
multiple people guess that it does something, the appropriate thing is to state
explicitly that it does not. This is especially true if they assume Postfix
does XYZ because other MTAs they work with do XYZ.)
