 With some applications, you can set them to place the signature at the
end even when you top-post. That's what I did for Thunderbird for this
reply. (Normally, I bottom post.)

Have you been using Netscape and now feel abandoned by AOL?
Then use SeaMonkey. Go to <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/>.

People who won't admit they're creating a problem aren't going to set
their newsreaders to fix that problem.

Sure, but you can guess what everybody in those Excel/Word groups is
using. Anyway, the problem is top posting, wherever the sig is placed.

Do you really expect someone to play with such a faked address just in
order to send an email? Using a faked address with "usage instructions"
is even more stupid and much worse than a completely invalid address.

There are other and better ways to fight spam.

YMMV.
