All I say was the forwarded post, with none of your new text. If Johnathan hadn't pointed out what happened, I'd never have known there was any new text from you. Just removing the trailing space from the "-- " line is enough to prevent automagic signature detection, and leaving the "--" makes it clear that it was originally a sig.
