simplest thing to do: same attribution line for all ng's. just diddle
tc.el like:

,----
| (defun tc-simple-attributor (date name)
|   "A simple attribution function suitable as default for
|   tc-groups-functions."
|   (concat name " has contributed this to humanity's knowledge database:"))
`----

seems to work!

  Your question reminded me that I had the same question, so I went
  hunting on google...after about 30 mins, I found this:

(setq message-citation-line-function 'my-citation-line) ; Change the citation line..keep the "writes:" or "wrote:" so cite-hiding toggle works
(defun my-citation-line ()
    (insert "\nSilly " 
            (mail-header-from message-reply-headers) 
	    " becomes daring and writes:\n\n"))

  Hope this helps
