Unfortunately, your PGP sig is not being filtered out (rendered invisible)
on email readers. I don't expect to see PGP sigs, only an indication of
whether they're valid, because my software deals with them automatically.
However, your emails aren't detected as being PGP signed at all. It might be
because the list is adding this footer after the PGP sig block, and the
message is declared as containing only a single text/plain part. In a
PGP-signed email, the PGP delimiters are supposed (AFAIK) to bracket the
whole message, so the list-added footer is breaking your post, leading to
people having to see this huge PGP block.

Perhaps you could sign messages using PGP/MIME for those who support it - it
would then not annoy people reading the text part because it would be in a
separate part?
