But, my understanding is that --recv-key <keyid> will *merge* any *new*
information from the keyserver into the *existing* record on my keychain,
and, I already know that the new information is on my keychain. I want to
check that the new information, which I just sent, was successfully
received. I can use --list-keys to check my own key chains. Thats not
my question. 

Or is the information from the keyserver always assumed to be authoritative,
and overwrites any conflicting information on the local key chain? I doubt
that that is a good thing to do, but I am a newbie at this.
