Very nice!=20
Dont you have any reaction by a keyserver admin yet to give you a feed of
500 kByte?=20
Having this on a daily basis would be even greater.

One little thing the pathfinder doesn't do right yet: It doesn't notice if
a UID is revoked. Check
<http://webware.lysator.liu.se/jc/wotsap/?top=3D0x196B9B66&bottom=3D0xBB1D9F6D>

See the thread "Revocation of a user id?" (starting at
<http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2003-March/017392.html>)
about what should happen.

In short:=20

Or is it this you mean by "No attempt is made to verify the signatures."?
