So if ‘someone’ adds the footer, you would remove it too?  I would like to ask 
him a favour of doing that then. :-)

Besides general reasons [0], why mangling mail is bad and unsubscribing footers 
are bad, the current footer has its specific problem: 47 underscores is not a 
standard footer (also called ‘signature’) separator (which is ‘-- ’).  So 
unless a user configured his MUA to recognize it, he has to remove it from any 
quoted message, that lacks a footer of its own, manually.  Which, of course, 
also contributes something to a level of newbie-user-friendliness.
