Oh, well that's easier. Load it into a text editor and replace ">>" with nothing. Use dual greater-than signs so it doesn't destroy the HTML.

Oh and while I'm at it: If it makes the pages easier to archive, there's a hidden feature (because it's incomplete). If you add "printable=yes" to the end of the URL of a post, it formats it nicely for printing/archiving. It's not complete because I haven't made it colorless yet.
