(BTW, my reply only came up with your text, everything after the "--" got deleted- one more reason to use Netscape and not Explorer... neat trick!) I don't know how to break this to you Jim, or more properly, these to you but; a) If by "Explorer" you mean Internet Explorer, it is not a news reader, aka news client. b) If by "Explorer" you mean Outlook Express, when I used it [for a very brief period before getting real email and news clients], it would, indeed, observe the "-- " [dash dash space] properly formed signature separator, and delete the sig. c) In fact, all self-respecting news clients have always recognized a properly formed sig separator, and deleted the sig when one replies to a Usenet post. It is not a "neat trick", it has been a part of the NNTP protocol since before there ever was a WWW, or Internet Exploder, or Lookout Express, or Netscrape.
