Node text goes above. Div tags should contain sig only
I totally don't understand what OP means, or I must seriously be missed something. I never see that notice text around each time I post or reply a node, with or without sigs and template. I do have template for quoting text from nodes I reply to. If there's a text I need to quote, I copy and paste it in the template: 
<blockquote><i></i></blockquote>

then move on, press Enter, and start typing. If I don't quote I just remove the template although no effect would incur if I kept it. Other than that, I can't see any problem. Any monk can shed a light why and in what context does he experience what is appearantly a problem?

OTOH, I do think that separating text and sigs might be a nice to have, but it remains unnecessary, and would add no extra values for user experience. It's been like this for any webmails I use, so what's for?
