I'm not sure he means "for advertisement sake", and if he does.. that's probably the wrong reasoning. Just because other offline QWK readers put a tagline at the end of a message advertising itself, doesn't mean yours needs to.

However, the NOTE kludge can be used to show what editor was used to write a message.

I think this would be the more "correct" way for technical purposes. Basically, if something is wrong with a message, it can be traced back to whatever was used to create it (ie. NOTE kludge for editor), handle it (PID kludge for program identifier or originating system software, or the BBS software the QWK/REP packets are being created/processed with) and toss it (TID kludge for tosser identifier), etc.

It's all mentioned in FTSC documentation somewhere. ;)
