A tip for you:

As you can see above, your cute little ================> line (is that
phallic on purpose I wonder?) which you apparently meant to separate
your post from your signature means replies to your posts will actually
include your witty signature text, which is a waste of space. 

If you instead use the standard two dash characters followed by a space
(-- ) on a line by itself (see my signature below for an example),
replies to your posts from well-behaved clients will automatically omit
your signature in the quoted text, which most agree is  preferable.

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