Multiply that by a possible 25% (arbitrary) of the list being delayed [...]
This afternoon I considered starting the initial delay at one minute
and incrementing the delay by one minute each time a message gets
delayed. Perhaps the increment would be 15 or 30 seconds--whatever.
The point is that the delay would ease in slowly and folks would get a
chance to adjust.

My mistake then, I thought you had proposed marking messages as unsigned
as an intermediate step.
I had proposed marking them, true, though not as notification, but
rather as automated commentary. Notification is a (trivial and
useless) effect of the measure, but not its purpose.
