Two things:

1) You are neglecting to say what software you're using.  Fortunately,
since I am a supergenius, I have determined from the phraseology of your
question that you are in fact using rn to read news (and Pnews to post).

2) You are not being patient enough.  If you look at an article you
posted, you'll see that it does, in fact, have a signature.  Pnews
doesn't ask.  It includes it automagically.  The mail program which rn
uses when you reply to an article does ask.
