No, there wasn't:

As you can clearly see, whatever fucked up combination of Usenet client
and configuration you are using (I suspect your silly PGP setup may be
involved - why you feel the need to include that in every Usenet post is
beyond me) is causing your signature delimiter to intermittently be
incorrect.

The signature delimiter should be exactly this: a line consisting of two
dash characters followed by a space character followed by a line feed
character. This is described in section 4.3 of RFC 3676:

<https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3676.txt>

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block#E-mail_and_Usenet>

You are ignoring the single dash character and space that precedes it on
the same line.

I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead.
