The signature police speaking..

So prad's crime basically consists in making the greeting part part of
his signature. Counting that part out, he'd have a 4-line signature:

,----
| In friendship,

One possible solution:
In .gnus.el:
,----
| (setq gnus-parameters
|       `((".*"
|          (posting-style (body "\n\n\nIn friendship,\nprad\n")))))
`----
In .signature:
,----
|                                       ... with you on your journey
| Towards Freedom

That being said -- keep the noise low, there are enough ads on the web,
short signatures ftw.
