Well, in my case anyway you can easily find my public key by reading 
the mail headers.  Everything you need to know to verify my messages as 
authentic are found in the headers.

I have enough of a web of trust within TriLUG, having cross-signed with 
other members, for you to be assured that if PGP or GnuPG are able to 
authenticate my signature than enough people have checked my photo ID 
for you to be sure it was really posted by me.

And yes, I have had people try to forge messages to make them look like 
they were from me so this does serve a legit purpose.
