Yeah I think it's lame too, but most usenet clients manditorily support a 
"signature delimiter" for correct quoting. You can read alt.2600 how I got 
nicely (and also not so nicely lol) asked (and rudely demanded lol) that I 
"put a delimiter in my sig" (which is why you see the -- on the first line 
now).

A proper usenet delimiter is two -- chrs and a space chr followed by a hard 
CR.

Yes, I think it's lame BUT it would avoid others (expecially innocent and 
ignorant newbies) to be confused and attacked when posting in Usenet via 
Synchronet and not having (or knowing about, or how to impliment) a delimiter 
in their sigs.

It's just a contingancy to keep the usenet sharks at bay.

Anyone who has partaken of a flame war in the BBS Scene has not experienced 
the extreme possible levels of stupidity and hostility that they might run 
into on Usenet.

Any moronic wars in the scene are nothing compared to some of the trolls and 
flamers wandering around usenet.
