A) There was no sig (as Google will verify.) It appeared as plain

sig rather than just more of your post.

And why would that matter to the OP?

How was one to know where
your text stopped and your sig began?

Why does he have to know?

Because *you* instructed him to *read your sig*. If he looked for a sig,
he found none. You instructed him to read something that didn't exist.
