I am subscribed to 10 mailing lists, on four of which I am a Moderator. =20
I use the --auto-key-retrieve option always.

It has been a feature of the way I used PGP and latterly GPG that I=20
regularly do keyring maintenance.  Once a week, I weed out keys from my=20
keyring that I have no use for, and I've been doing this since the=20
heady days I was indtroduced to DOS and PGP 2.6.x.  Weekly maintenance=20
also gives me the chance to test keyservers, and check the trustdb.

I am surprised that you appear not to do this too.  Or am I unusual in=20
my use of GPG?
