If you're against publishing your public key on a key server, why are you signing messages with your private key and sending them to a public mailing list? No one receiving the messages will be able to make use of the signature in the slightest. On a more general note, the article you've linked has some social critiques of reliance on keysigning, but has no real commentary on the danger of public key cryptography. Isn't the point of public key cryptography to allow one piece of a key to be read by any party while keeping the problem of recovering the encrypted data intractable? If you are restricting heavily the people you share your public key with, why not simply use a symmetric algorithm, forgetting public key cryptography completely? It would certainly render the problem of recovering any encrypted communication far less tractable. pants.
