The way I see it, either sign or don't sign, but attaching a bogus signature block to a message for the sole purpose of pacifying a mailing list requirement diminishes the significance of crypto and sullies the image of all who participate.
I'm not entirely sure, but I thought that 90% of the "anti-sig" argument was that it was a pain in the ass because the tools did not exist on some machines to allow relatively seamless signing for some users (in a secure fashion). If thats the case.....isn't it an equal pain in the ass to go to the trouble of forging a sig? :> You would likely have to go through more key strokes and other routines to forge one. Why not just play by the rules and sign a message? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLt02ia+YbMzawbu5AQFzCQP7BTP5dyuQf8nmFIeEGeTzxjaTrWYbB9no ZHQIC2u86TbQX1EAiA8LMCWlk+CHhvMJSMXt7QpK6h+ylpYQxJuEwebQcPPdqYAb szD+AfeFMGEovGpt2LxQXnAT098uyIgSkf0ALGd7iTWDBsVJz74M59m8thqpHs92 W27FsPThttY= =Orub -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
