As for the signature thing, this is the first time I've ever
heard it mentioned by anyone, but I suppose it's no big deal for me to avoid
quoting them.


A proper sig line begins with dash dash space (see mine). Proper newsreaders
can be set to filter out everything after a proper sig marker. Thus, anybody
who quotes something including the sig is liable to have the meat of their post
chopped off just before it begins.

For gawd's sake no.

If you use a reader like Agent, when you go to respond you see nothing
beyond the sig makr. That means you can not edit anything out beyond
that point.

Throw out that old way of doing things and then you can quote properly
and snip away at your heart's desire.
