"Should" is maybe the wrong word to use. I've never seen "should" mean anything other than, "I want" or "I expect." The universe doesn't much care about what we want or expect, though. Justice should prevail and the sun should rise in the east: but I don't think for a second either of those "shoulds" means much. :) Still, let's try this instead: "why are so many certificates not available on the keyserver network?" One answer is, the certificate owners might not want their certificates on the keyserver network. Some people much prefer to give their certificates via biglumber, or person to person, or... etc. We may agree or disagree with their reasons, but the decision is theirs to make: we just have to respect it. :) _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
