   That's considered a "bad thing" in Fidonet by using three dashes like that   
   as a tosser can see that as a tearline and think that is the end of a   
   message.  Double tearlines can cause technical isses with older   
   tossers...then that can constiute "annoying behavior" according to Policy.   
      
   So I'm recommending you use two dashes instead of three to avoid any   
   technical issues (see my own signature below).  I do not care myself but as   
   co-moderator of this echo I need to help prevent any problems.  :)
