The above statement is not accurate.

A careful reading of <http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#INTRO> is
recommended.

This is the Spanish version: <http://www.gnupg.org/gph/es/manual.html>

Attention Simon Dwyer. The following keys were found on a key server:
(1)	Simon Luke Dwyer <sdwyer at spykes.id.au>
	Simon Luke Dwyer (Technology Services Group) <sdwyer at federalit.net>
	  1024 bit DSA key 9DA5B32F, created: 2008-06-09
(2)	Simon Dwyer (SpYkEs) <sdwyer at spykes.id.au>
	  1024 bit DSA key 9D826360, created: 2008-06-09 (revoked)
(3)	Simon Luke Dwyer (SpYkEs) <sdwyer at spykes.id.au>
	  1024 bit DSA key 41494BDE, created: 2008-06-06 (revoked)
Can you please confirm that key No. 1 '1024 bit DSA key 9DA5B32F,
created: 2008-06-09' is the one you are or will be using, since the
other two have been revoked. Thanks in advance.
