   Then "Something" is a script you created that modifies .signature either   
   during log in/out (1), desktop activation (2), launch (3) or operation   
   of your Usenet client (4).   
      
   4 would be some setting in knode which I have absolutely no knowledge   
     about and would be my first check if I were you.   
   3 a script you created and execute via a custom desktop shortcut or a change   
     you made to the knode entry in your kde menu.   
   2 some script in ~/.kde*/Autostart or ~/.kde*/autostart   
   1 ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_logout, /etc/rc.d/rc.local, /etc/bashrc,   
     /etc/profile.d/*, /etc/profile, ... to mention a few.   
      
   My WAG is you have a script that automagically generates ~/.signature   
   plus a new and improved feature in knode.   
      
   Research suggestions for each above method/possibility:   
      
   2  locate $USER | grep -i auto   
      and research each file/script and line looking for anything having to do   
      with .signature.   
      
   3  RIGHT click desktop shortcut, proprieties->Application Command: to   
      find script name which launches knode.   
      RIGHT click KDE menu icon in task bar, pick Edit Applications and   
      navigate to knode to research script name if Command: is not knode whatever.   
      
   1  cat each file and research each line looking for anything having to   
      do with .signature.
