No, it's a pretty universal rule in email clients, part of whatever
specs govern the web. The dash-dash-space is designed to cut off
everything after it, which, if everyone were bottom posting, would
nicely prevent any sigs from building up. It doesn't work well with
top-posting.
Of course, 90% of the time you are the last word on a question, and it
doesn't matter.

use the signature delimiter, others would complain. And *many* (including
me) would complain if I bottom-posted.
