I'm really not. Just trying to be helpful. Don't trust me any more than any 
other random person on the Internet. I'm quite likely to make a mistake or 
leave out something important.

Just locally. You can't delete stuff from the keyservers, as they're a 
distributed database with no central control, and they have no method of 
confirming you are the key's owner. Even if you could get one server to delete 
your key, it would be resynchronised almost immediately from another server.

In general, you should assume that anything that goes on the Internet is there 
forever, as you have no way of knowing who has made a copy for their own use, 
let alone do much about it. ;-)
