I heard by entirely unofficial sources that the Posting-Front-End was added to GNU Emacs' rnews package as a subtle advertising mechanism. It's somewhat surprising how many articles show up these days with that line in them. But by this time, the line has degenerated into the same class as anti-NSA/line-eater food, and those inclined to convert to using GNU Emacs have already done so. It should probably go away. Karl
