It has been noted by other people on NANOG that I am talking about an MUA 
instead of an MTA.  That is correct, I got them mixed up by accident, but
my argument still stands, just substitute MTA for MUA.

What does this have to do with this thread?  

For your information, when I read and post to NANOG I actually  do it 
from home, using MUTT as an MUA and sendmail as an MTA.

Frankly, your supposedly argument isn't very valid either.
