You are more than free to set up an anonymous email addres
and use that to subscribe to the list. The PLUG mailing
list is public, and its archives are intended as a public
resource. As has been observed, when somebody answers a
question on the list it adds to the global Linux knowledge
pool. This is so when someone says "just Google it" there
is something there for the Googling.

The whole point of PGP-signing a message is to prove the
a message is (a) actually from you and (b) unaltered. Why
on earth would anyone PGP-sign a message that they didn't
want attributed to them?

Anyone who subscribes to the list would be able to put up
their own archives of the list, so bypassing it would be
trivial.
If you don't want your posts to be public either don't
post to a public list or handle your own anonymity.
