Haggis's reply was bottom posted... Sort of...

OE defaults to top posting. It would appear that Haggis either has a
blank signature as default (which causes the two line feeds followed by
the -- sig delimiter,) or he cut his sig (after the delimiter) while
failing to delete the line feeds and sig delimiter.
