When I use a .signature, as in the post you just quoted, I use a

My name isn't my signature. It's my name.

In this context, "signature" means something special - the fixed text you
always append to a post. And it's considered polite to seperate it from
the post with a special string "-- " (the space is significant) so
people's newsreaders can automatically remove it.

Yes, I know what a signature is and how it works. But I don't always use
a signature. My name is not part of my signature, and doesn't belong in
it, even when I have one.

While we're wallowing in egg-sucking territory, you might like to set
your news client to wrap text to a more convenient-for-other-people 72
columns.

Suit yourself.
