Good to know.

Well, I did.  The owner told me which keyserver he uploads to, and I
double checked my copy against that server.  It's up to date.  However,
the message that he sent with that information was signed with key
0x5A103307, not 0x8B362A2F.

I'll bet that signing with the old key was not intentional.

Thanks for all the info...
