Google is your friend. <g>

This comes up early in a search for "usenet etiquette":
<http://www.html-faq.com/etiquette/>

One thing to remember is to snip signatures when you reply. Sigs are
delimited by two dashes, a space, and a carriage return.

If you want to continue to use OE, get OE-QuoteFix. Or better yet, get a
modern real newsreader that already does that (and more) without
add-ons. I like 40tude Dialog when using Windows.

It could possibly mean that you didn't quote what you were replying to,
and everything you posted was 'original text' in your posts. <g>
