That's considered a "bad thing" in Fidonet by using three dashes like that
as a tosser can see that as a tearline and think that is the end of a
message.  Double tearlines can cause technical isses with older
tossers...then that can constiute "annoying behavior" according to Policy.

So I'm recommending you use two dashes instead of three to avoid any
technical issues (see my own signature below).  I do not care myself but as
co-moderator of this echo I need to help prevent any problems.  :)
