So, what's the difference between Randy's signature line and mine.
(Apart from the lyrics!)

The major difference? Mine starts dash dash space followed by the signature. The impact? When most decent newsreaders quote a post, it will strip off a delimited signature starting with the dash dash space. So, when Thomas replies to me, it removes my signature automatically. When he, or I, reply to yours, it quotes it instead without removing it.

The minor difference? Thomas decided yours didn't fit his "requirements" so he got pedantic about it. Ignore his pedantics.

I am not sure if Google Groups allows you to save a signature line. If it does, simply add -- followed by a space on a line of it's own and save it.
