I understand putting the -- into the signature is one's own decision. So 
it's probably better to not do it automatically, as everybody can easily 
put it into the signature file.

I occasionly remove the -- from my signature in the posting if I refer to
the signature in the message, to make sure nobody wants to follow the 
reference to an already cut away footer.
