Thanks, John. I was unaware of the status page, I think that will be
helpful. I'm not sure offhand which servers have been "buggy", but I
believe I've connected to http://keys.gnupg.net/ in the past and been
presented with a blank page, for instance.

Is it considered impolite to advertise one specific keyserver (like
gingerbear, for instance) in my sig?
