Me, I use it because around a year or more ago some one took to 
impersonate me and others, using our email address to grosly insult other 
people he disliked. He used my address a lot.

That didn't happen in this list, it was in the Spanish list, but since 
then I always pgp sign almost all my emails. It may not ever happen again, 
but once bitten...

And then, there are spammers. I know for certain that some spam email is 
circulating around with my email address in the "from" header. I know 
because now and then I get the bounces; for instance, some one tried to 
send email to this list using my older address. If challenged, I can say 
they are not mine as they are not signed.
