That which follows the signature delimiter ("\n-- \n") is signature,
and can be disregarded. Well-designed editor modes will happily remove
that part for you. Certainly you don't intend for the entire forwarded
message to be removed as .sig?

Why is that annoying? If there's something in your .sig which must be
seen (as compared to, well, a signature) then it should be in the body
of the message.

Sigs go at the bottom. No netiquette required, just logic. Since there's
a "signature begins here" delimiter, one can assume that the "signature
ends here" delimiter is the end of the message body.
