Well... I think it's strange the feature was there in the first place... Of course, it will kill all double posts, but if you just edit out that message with a "sorry, double post" in it
and delete your sig in that post, no one would be annoyed by it.
On the other hand, it's a not a very good feature IMO for different reasons, one of them to give someone the opportunity to delete posts from the middle of a discussion, making it almost impossible to follow for outsiders if those particular posts weren't quoted. Trolls can use the feature to cover up their tracks before the mods arrive and give them a proper spanking. Spammers can use the feature to secretly work on their post count. And so on.
...But oh well, who am I to say anything about this?
