Hm, bad luck for me this time then.  There are some _new_ servers in
the rise calling themselves SKS, but I am sorry to say that even those

which is definitely isn't.  So I'll avoid any of them in the future.

I do :)  But I am left with a massive self-signed key.  Any way to
remove the extra ones?
