Why not?
There's still content there, albeit only in the subject.

Agree. You'd miss many a pithy quote (this != one of them)
Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

Or interesting stuff in the signature, for that matter...

Was it CRC that pioneered this sneaky technique way back when?

Could be. I'm wracking my brain now thinking how to prevent this... perhaps if signature != default signature... ;-)

I always wondered about that
Customizable defaults have their downsides I guess... I think I would've forced users to set signatures only on the Preferences page from day one. But then, many a user has done what I never expected ;)

Yep.
The signature pref is more of a convenience than anything. "Here's what I would like it to be by default, but just so I don't have to type so much." And removing the during-posting edit ability wouldn't fix the issue, as people could still go edit their signature for each post.

It's spelled "LRPD", but it's pronounced "mumble"!
THAT'S why, mates! :-)
