John, all it proves is that we learned to completely ignore messages
from you very quickly.  Perhaps lots of people simply kill-filed you,
while others (such as me) see your name in the [From:] and move on
to the next message without reading.
 
I have verified messages before.  Sometimes, when somebody says
something stupid or out-of-character, I verify the message and then
go back and verify their more-normal messages to make sure the public
key is the same on both.  Hence signing all messages is reasonable,
since it helps establish a consistency of pattern used to identify
you as much as your signature is.
 
I'll grant you that I seldom verify (or sign) messages, but that's
mostly because it's a pain for me to do so.  I'd do it if it were
easier, and I appreciate that others go to that effort.
