Not exactly.  The problem is *your* mail client (sort of).

You have configured your client to append your signature.  The signature is 
preceded by '--\n'.  This is the well-know signature delimiter, and programs 
are written with the assumption that anything below the delimiter is the 
signature, which can be safely discarded.  This is a Good Thing.

So, Dale bottom-posted his reply (yay!), but *his* mail client did not strip 
*your* signature.  Your mail client (on the other hand) *did* strip the 
signature before preparing the reply.  Since Dale's message was below your 
original signature delimiter it was discarded as it was deemed to be part of 
the signature.

Anyway he seems to be using Thunderbird.  Maybe there is a bug, or maybe his 
settings are incorrect.

To get around this you could try highlighting the relevant portion of the 
message then hit reply.  Your mailer should prepare the reply containing only 
the highlighted portion.
