Maybe you're doing something wrong:

It should be http://pki.surfnet.nl, so get rid of the space.

Same here, I guess...

If you add key servers to your options file, you can leave them out in
command-line operations...

    cowardly thieves in the land will be preemptively put to death. My
    foes will surely give up and abandon their quest if they have no source
    of comic relief.
