It's a PGP signature. If you have a PGP decoder and download his
public key it's used to prove the message came from who it says it did
since nobody else's private key will encrypt to the appropriate string
above. Eliminates people forging posts since they either won't post
with a PGP key (rules the post in as a forgery if the real user always
posts a key), or the string won't validate against the real user's
public key.
