Personally I would like a whole line of dashes, or some other graphic
pattern of my own choosing.  We cannot put the dashes in our .signature
file, since postnews (or rn?) refuses to use a .signature file of
greater than 4 lines.  I suppose using only two dashes is better net
ettiquette, but I think the user should be able to choose this option.
