You mean these?

They are your sig separator (actually that's two lines and a space).
They tell the rest of us that this is your signature, and our news
readers can adapt to show it in a suitable font and colour, or to ignore
it completely (depending on our individual preferences). It also enables
people's news readers to automatically ignore it when they reply to your
post. In other words, those two little lines (and a space) are a Good
Thing and you should be happy that your software is smart enough to
include those for you automagically. Usually it's the other way around:
newbies get flamed for *not* having those two little lines there! (I do,
however, predict that your sig will eventually get flamed for its size
if you use it in any other group than this one...)    :-)

See, I have one too!  :-)
