It proves who you are, which means that you expose yourself to a certain
extent in the event that you do anything inappropriate with your e-mail.
This implies that your intentions are honorable; and even if they are not,
the signature makes you easier to track down and take action against.  So it
makes one feel a bit warmer and fuzzier.
