Well to me sthe space after the -- is important not for the size of your sig, but because with that space the newsreader will know it is a sig; and will be able to treat it in an other way than the rest of the text. For example my newsreader (slrn) will colorize the sig in red, every line with a > in violet, the header in green ,etc. It's really more easy to read this way. But of course this is not a sufficient reason to agress every person who has no space after -- or that uses } instead of >. ;-) -- << SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM saussages and SPAM I DON'T LIKE SPAM! don't you have something without spam in it ? well the eggs with bacon and SPAM does not contains much spam. >>
