FALSE.  When a signed post is from someone whom I'm likely to communicate
with in the future, and when I have the public key available, I do check the
signature; it provides a little bit of extra confirmation when the key is
valid.

So tell us, Cooley, what's the *real* reason you want to make people
uncomfortable about PGP-signing their messages?
