Not for the reply you do, but if somebody replies to your reply, than
yes, it does and _should_ remove the signature. Because the "-- "
indicates that everything after it is the signature, also quotes below
the signature are removed.

Quoting signatures is good for absolutely nothing.

Top posting only is valid for business and private mails, but top
posting is frowned upon mailing lists. IMO even for business and private
mails nobody should use top posting.
