Absolutely. Now apply this to signatures.
However you seem here to be suggesting that I'm being told to any great degree that signatures are uniquely immune from refactoring. Tain't so. We'd probably need a strong consensus to make an exception to policy of that magnitude.
Ok, I didn't really catch the original wave of angst, but unlike other wikis, I haven't noticed a strong "you must refactor" vibe for talk pages at Wikipedia. Most people seem to prefer that their contributions be left alone, and on the rare occasions that one does refactor, there tend to be copious apologies and explanations of what one is doing.
Purely an observation. My first ever messages on my talk page were complaints from someone due to my deleting old discussions off article talk pages.
