True enough, but the argument should stand no matter who I am.
If you want to protect against spam using signatures there are other
ways to do it that don't involve signing the content.
Hmm, bad example. I do not want to protect myself agains spam using
signatures (bayes filters are far more useful in that area), I want to
protect myself against impostors claiming to be trustworthy people and fool
me into doing something stupid.
