I don't think it's anything you're doing, unless he's talking about how
you have your name above the signature delimiter and the signature below
like so:

karl


"-- "

	Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI
	Linux User
	#450462   http://counter.li.org.
        Key ID = 3951B48D


I put the quotes around it so other mail programs wouldn't mistake it
for a delimiter....
