alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent was created because of the high
volume of traffic Agent/Free Agent users created which was useless to
a significant number of readers.  that's why we get most any new group.

a key reason was many Forte users' unwillingness to simply put the
word `Forte' into their Subject: headers, which made it needlessly
difficult to filter messages.  many messages simply mentioned the
version of the software, which was inconsiderate at best.
