David,

Why the space? If I enter a space the instruction does not appear when
I respond via email to a message which I have posted.

Because hyphen-hyphen-space is the convention for delimiting a sig;
because that's what news clients look for to display sigs differently (if
so configured by the user) and to auto snip them when replying.

That's because it's a real sig if thus delimited. News clients can be
configured to auto snip them when replying. That's a feature, not a bug.

And it reacts extremely badly when [expletive deleted] idiots post
their reply above the quoted material and still use a signature
delimiter. This annoyance is more common than not in the Excel and
Word newsgroups. I've made sporadic efforts to get folks not to
misuse the signature delimiter in this way, but since their own
interface doesn't interpret it as a delimiter they won't acknowledge
it's a problem.
