Yes, and unavoidable it seems. The art of properly editing a replied to post seems to be a dying art. It might help though if the program used to manage the forum, when adding its usually superfluous nonsense at the end of a post, would at least prefix it properly with a "sig delimiter".

This can become rather annoying. One message on this list had over a dozen of these in the 'body' of the message. If it were prefixed with a "sig delimiter" at least a 'sig delimiter' aware MUA could strip it out before replying to the message.
