I'm sorry, I can't keep quiet any longer. It's not the people reading
this thread that need to know something, it's you who needs to grasp
what a sig delimiter is.

With all due respects it doesn't matter where you live or what you do
for a living. It also doesn't matter whether or not you have a good
grasp of the meaning of various phrases in the English language, can
spell properly or have a good command of grammar.

A sig delimiter is just that. As has been already clearly pointed out to
you, it is a line of three characters all on their own which, when
inserted just above your signature, prevents the said signature and all
other information under it from being quoted in follow up messages.

This line of three characters (as is shown below in my sig and most
other sigs) is composed of the following which you have to type in or,
even better, put in your message and reply template:

'Hyphen' 'Hyphen' 'Space bar' (once).

Then press Enter and you have your three charaters on the line and that
is your sig delimiter. Try it, it's really not that difficult ;-)
