I'm not certain I agree with your interpretation (I'm sure G. will
clarify what he means himself).  

It is allways polite to strip out material that has no bearing on your
reply (i.e. that is not needed to see the context of what you are
writing), including sigs and list info miscellania, but the standard for
how much you are allowed to add after your message as part of the
"signature" varies with different communities. Where I usually go the
rule is 4 lines, no more than 80 characters/line (and all my sigs
conform to that, even it if means skipping good stuff). With your
interpretation I could use -- e.g. -- The Wanderer (in the original AS,
or course) as my quote, and we would both be ok as long as you removed
it when replying.
