If you use the above, level of quotes are easily distinguishable.
2. The signature string is "-- ": that is two dashes, followed by a
single space. Without the single space, the special meaning is lost.

The problem with bottom-posting on this server is that when I send, it
is hard for some, perhaps everyone, to know where the quoted message
stops and my contribution begins. If you go to the bottom of this
email you will see that your contribution is not "quoted" as such, and
- especially if the same font were used - you can't really tell
without paying really close attention to the "--" where the exchange
starts.
