This is fallacious, dangerous, and probably insulting thinking. I'm sure that many people on this list are eg, sysadmins for large or important installations. Or perhaps they are researchers, decision-makers, free software developers, or any of a myriad of other important things. If you're at least some of the time sending mail that is important to be reliably attributed to you, it *absolutely* makes sense to sign that mail. If you're signing some mail, you might as well sign all of it, as this will habituate people to expect your mail to be signed, and avoid you needing to decide what's important enough to sign. It also acts as a nice signal that you can handle encrypted mail, which needs to be used more widely. -- see shy jo
