Sure, it's a "valid" sig in the sense that it's synactically correct.
No it isn't. We are not talking about some sentence. We are talking
about practical usage and common sense. He has TWO sigs.
It does, however, exceed the max-four-lines guideline.
It is not a valid signature. He has TWO signatures. No amount of word
games will change that. Since posts can contain "-- " then it is obvious
that the news reader would search from the END of the article and snip
the first. In fact I know of at least two newsreaders where such double
signatures cause problems. Gnus and SLRN.
If he had any conscience at all he would simply sign up to another ISP
which does not tag on that second .sig OR remove his own one. This is
not the only group where this has been nicely mentioned to him. The fact
that he is an interfering busybody and constantly net nannying other
posters makes it all the more irritating.
The bottom line is a simple one : his double sig and ONLY his double sig
causes problems when replying. No one else's causes issues.
