-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
In the paper world, I send out many things that I don't sign. I don't sign them because it is of no significance that it be proven that I sent it. It also might be that the information is of such a general nature that it makes no neverminds who sent it. I submit that digital signatures are the same way.
While I agree with this, there is another, more practical reason to use cryptography for everyday, non-sensitive material. This may seem trivial to some. The more we are in the practice and *habit* of using cryptography for both privacy and authentication, the more *prepared* we are when we unexpectedly find ourselves in situations that *require* cryptography.
