I think that dialists hate DST because it is an "inelegant" or clumsy solution to the problem of reconciling fixed clock time to the variable sunrise time in middle latitudes.
I don't know of a better solution; perhaps the listserv readers have a creatie suggestion. On a related point, consider this: What about going back to simple solar time? With today's digital technology clocks could be made "retro" so as to display sundial time as a function of date, as opposed to making sundials try to display "clock" time! Something to think about.
