Ah - so I'll copy/paste, selectively, as here, as needed. Just glad to know what's going on!!

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].
