OK.  If you've never used gpg before this then you're probably fine; if
you're upgrading, there are some particular caveats.

Funny how reading the docs can make everything right again ;-)

% Thanks for the thorough list of keyservers!

Sure thing.  I got tired of hitting dead or empty keyservers and so I
started taking notes every time I saw one mentioned.  I also run

  host -l pgp.net | grep wwwkeys | sed "s/^/#/" | sort

every once in a while and throw it onto the end of my file so that I
have a list of all of those, which is a start (and not a bad one, since I
have seen even those in that circle not necessarily in sync with each
other, and I think more than just a day out after a new key is uploaded,
but it's been a long time since I've bothered to take note).


...
% As always, thanks for the tremendous help.

Sure thing!
