No, Peter, YOU'RE wrong; by quoting those people, you've made 
those texts a PART of your message.
The solution you need isn't to break the .sig, but to place the 
quotes into an attached file.

Because you're wrong ;-)

As stated above, by quoting, you make the quotes a part of *your 
mesage*.  THAT's so clear, I don't see why YOU don't get it.

It's the same in ANY correspondence.  The rules of style and 
format do not change with the medium.
