How rude is it for people to post (or mail to a mailing list) anon messages encrypted with someone's PGP key? It makes it easy for the receiver to obtain it, but how irritating is it to people? Fairly. In fact, it's considered downright rude. It's like sitting around a table of, say, 3 people, and whispering with someone next to you. The first person is you -- you're sending the message. The second person is your friend -- he's recieving it. The third is me -- I'm just watching two people whispering. Further, newsgroups are a very inappropriate place to send private mail for propogation.
