It doesn't appear (here anyway) in Bruce's postings to the list (in fact there is no double hyphen sig marker at all, but that could be because yahoo is somehow suppressing it in list mail), but it does appear in your quoted version of Bruce's posting. So, I'm guessing it's another casualty of Yahoo's recent changes and the way they present postings to you in their web interface (which I don't use)... -- Andy Greener n.b.
