"GECOS" is supposedly named because the folks who wrote UNIX thought that
having the computer know the full name of the user was a good idea that
they could salvage from the last project they had worked on .. The
"General Electric Comprehensive Operation System"

FYI, "MAC" is an abbreviation for an Ethernet hardware address. "Mac" is an
abbreviation for computers made by Apple. <;*)
As far as newsreaders go that don't insult your intelligence when you try
to add custom headers, I haven't heard of any. I use TIN to post FAQs
myself, since most Mac/PC newsreaders I've seen simply don't have the
degree of customization of header lines that Unix newsreaders do.
You just _might_ be able to get away with putting the news headers into
InterNet Config's news configuration section, but your mileage may vary.
Some newsreaders and E-Mail clients ignore custom-set mail & news
headers...
(Now, if only I could figure out how to change the E-Mail address in a Unix
newsreader...)
