Re: [Pan-users] Re: top posting

[brett holcomb]

Can we disable the message?  If so fine, if not - and a 
further comment indicates it will warn me no matter what. 
Does Pan allow us to disable the warning.

I wouldn't say all humanity - or even all internet users 
<G>.  You don't feel there are good reasons - I and many 
others do.  Again - bottom line is that if I can disable 
it fine, if not I'll need to find another newsreader for 
Linux.
