Oh come on, Joshua ... it's perfectly obvious what Dan was talking
about. There have been inordinately many people posting that GdeP
exhibits bad tone, bad breath control or even (perhaps, in one I
missed) bad breath.

Last I looked there were several hundred members of this list, and if
every one of them were to post their opinion of every matter that
appears, a lot of us would be forced to leave the list to conserve
disc space. But if there's a drawn-out thread in which 90+% of the
posts express one opinion, it's surely fair to say that "the group" is
expressing that opinion.
