Sorry for ambiguous wording with the "should".

I am quite sure that Grant Olson's key is on the keyserver, thus there
is no matter of hiding it, as robert j.hansen suggested. however, i
wonder why i can't retrieve it. 

gpg --search-keys A18A54D
gpg: Suche nach "A18A54D" von hkp Server pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: Schlüssel "A18A54D" am Schlüsselserver nicht gefunden

i.d. search for A18A54D on hkp server ..
key A18A54D not found at the keyserver.

on the command line!

on the interaction page of sks-keyservers.net the key cannot found
either.

Any help appreciated.
