It's not the content but the delivery. Many people have indicated this
to you before.

DFD = good

Please reconsider the tone and tact you use when responding to or
posting new threads, and try to supply actionable or useful
information, not just "this is why I use DFDs". And please refrain
from comments around "no one is doing documentation correctly",
because in a forum of technical writers, all those reading your posts
are the "everyone" you speak of. It doesn't go over well... kind of
like calling your mother in law a "fat pig" to her face.
