Re: OT: Speaking of "top posting"
Another question. I use agent and even when I top post it sticks my
signature at the bottom . I've yet to figure out how to change this.
Anyone out there know how to fix?

Yeah,... post correctly...at the bottom. Forte is trying to tell you
to post the correct way but they're too nice to bitch you out.

I'm not sure where you get the idea that BBS forums encouraged top-posting.
Most Moderators in the groups I frequented were very strict as to how you
posted, and bottom-posting and heavy editing were the norm.
What I've seen in Usenet is an influx of "Newbes" in the 90's when
Microsoft realized that there was a whole new territory they could invade
and screw up with their poorly written programs that didn't adhere to any
"standards" but their own. That's why we have so much top-posting and so
many viruses.
If you want a newsreader that adheres to the "Good Net-Keeping Seal of
