2.2 What should not be quoted?
Text to which you are not responding should be deleted. This way you
make it easier for others to read your response without having to
reread old text. Also, you save tons of bandwidth on thousands of
servers. In general, signatures have nothing to do with the context of
the article, and usually you are not going to refer to the poster's
signature. Therefore, signatures should always be deleted. A good
newsreader offers the possibility to do this automatically - of course
only provided the signature was separated from the text with the
correct delimiter (two dashes and a space on a single line).

Cheers,

All the servers seem to be shutting down anyway and if you pay for it...
Also when searching with a browser and you find the answer you need it is
easier to confirm that if there is quoted text as this means you don't need
to read the whole thread.
I use people signatures to help identify who is who, not email addresses
which more often than not say something like to avoid
spam.

:-P
