Michael,

>  I had one instance of my email being spoofed

I'm not saying such things do not happen or that PGP never is of use.
Just that in the everyday course of list traffic I neither know, nor
care, who you (or anyone else) are or if your mail has been tampered
with. Or even if you wrote it. My only interest is that the resulting
mail that ends in my mailbox is useful to me.

To put it another way: Even if everyone on the list signed and encrypted
their messages it would still be up to me - the recipient - to decide
whether or not the content of the messages are useful or meaningful.
The presence or absence of a signature doesn't make the slightest
difference to that decision.
