I know a grandma who posts on Usenet, with Pan, using Linux.

And so do you.

While Pan may not be for everyone, I like it -- it's flexible.
I have the source, and I can run a script as a signature.
It also supports little geegaws like X-Face and Face.

And I like Linux because it stays out of my way, and doesn't
spy on me.  I've been running it since 1992 in one way or another,
and it has been my desktop for most of that time.  (I did run
Windows 7 as a desktop for a year or two, but abandoned it because
of its inflexibility.)
