author of post and signature problems

[prad]

i just started with gnu after some encouraging advice from the
emacs.help group and things are fitting together nicely so far.

i've been posting on gmane.test and am surprised to see that i don't
show up as the author of the post or the replies. instead i see it is 
=> gmane.test

i imagine i show up as author to others, but i don't know why it is not
so for myself.

also, how do i get by the signature limit?
i have tried to set gnus-signature-limit to high values and still get 
Denied posting  excessive signature
(unless i remove the two hypens so the system thinks i have no
signature)


In friendship,
prad
