I'm sorry I keep going on, but I have got to get this off my chest. You are
urging me to do something in direct defiance of how I was raised and my personal
beliefs, and even urging me to thank you for that! That really is bloody
facetious. You've really got nerve, man.

I only see the statement "I certify this key until X". That is certainly what I
did when I thought really well about how I wanted it to be and put an expiry
date on my key. I never made the statement "I no longer certify this".
