Why would you bother?  You sure seem to be bothered about "forgeries."
Isn't that enough reason to bother signing your messages and making
your public key available?

Have you tried posting a signed message through google?

Notable is Gluehead's ever present denial of reality stating: "if he were to do so and make it public that ONLY such comments were to be trusted it would be a good step forward." This is essentially what I've done when I alerted COLA about being hacked, what I've been doing all along by differentiating myself from the forgeries, I've made it "public that ONLY such comments were to be trusted" as coming from the one "posting-account". The reader can quickly see the 'fre

If you can explain how to use the key on a post from Google Groups 'I'm all eyes' from a learning viewpoint... but being that most people probably aren't going to bother with the public key anyway, seems there isn't much point to it as it wouldn't really "put an end to this nonsense."

Try pasting a signed message into google groups compose window.

Why do you need an extension or a facility for signing at google?
Just compose a text message on your machine, sign it, and paste the
signed message into google's compose window thingie.
