I have mixed feelings about the idea of signing posts
cryptographically, as part of my general questioning of our
over-dependence on crypto as a trust medium. I've written before
about how prevalent this is, and the way it's used to beguile lay
people. Most people have no idea about specifically what it is
they're feeling more confident about when they believe something to
be "cryptographically secure."

But, I do like the idea of using signatures as a form of
punctuation. For example,

#+begin_export ASCII
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

don't trust anything you see coming from me which appears to be
signed.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
#+end_export

It almost certainly is fraudulent.
