It's plural, not possessive.

Incidentally, your news reader is broken, it is placing the text your
are quoting after the signature; which means that my follow-up had to
have it pasted back in. To explain: the function of the signature
separator "-- " is to tell compliant news and mail software where the
signature begins so that it does not needless include it.
