Well, I've been thinking about this, and I think I have a clear way 
of doing it.  On small lists where a message actually being from me 
might matter (like the Mac GPG developer list), I'm going to sign.  I 
know I have signed messages in the past that I send nearly 
everywhere, but I finally realized that this doesn't really help in 
most cases, just adds extra bytes to the message, because no one on 
the list can likely even check the validity of my signature, just get 
a message that it's good.

But, from this message, I guess we can all see your opinion.  ;-)
