It is a correct signature delimiter which was changed by PGP and
still is a correct delimiter.

It is 4 lines long, including 4 blank lines (each one a 2 byte
increase in message size. Not too much, I'd say). And his PGP
signature which is generally not counted as signature on this
list.

It is recommended to have this information in your signature,
because it makes helping and bug tracking easier. You need not
hunt down a bug that was corrected some versions ago :-)

I don't think anyone here uses PGP just because "The Bat can".
It's up to everybody to decide if they want to send their
messages with or without a PGP signature.
