OK, i won't

but it *still* doesn't cross certify :-)

(at least in 1.4.9 on windows)

btw,
more than an academic issue for me,
it's one of the reasons i had to generate a new rsa v4 key
using gnupg,
because i couldn't get gnupg to cross-certify my older key

so if there *is* a way,
please let me know,
so i can cross-certify my older v4 key

Thanks,

vedaal
