  Rob is a "top poster" and uses the convention of the "signature 
lines" being preceded by a line prefixed with the unquoted "-- ".  A 
line starting with two dashes and a blank are a signal to a 
NewsReader to "omit the lines that follow" because they are part of 
the "signature".  I had done that for some time, both top-posting 
and the signature line indicator, but realized the pain it caused 
others [and me in the rare case I replied to my own posts], so I 
removed that line from my signature.... and started thoroughly 
pruning spurious text in replies [including limiting my signature to 
one line].
