Andrew meant these multiple signatures, and implied that, once you looked at 
them, you would realize it's a little redundant and not relevant to list users:

>> --Don
>> 
>> Don Kelly

It's a free country, but given that you prefer a top-posting style where you 
don't trim previous messages (not judging here, just saying), you might 
consider omitting your signature for list posts, as it adds an additional eight 
lines to each message you send, which can really add up. Will it end hunger or 
bring about world peace? No. Will it be that little bit easier on everyone's 
eyes? Yes.

I think the main lesson from Andrew's post is that top or bottom posting 
doesn't matter anywhere near as much as trimming posts, so that only that 
portion of a previous message that you need for context is included, making the 
entire message compact and nicely legible.
