keys.gnupg.net doesn't exist (tested from several locations):

```
Host keys.gnupg.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
```

These days, it's probably safest to publish your key to as many 
keyservers as you can. If they sync eventually, great. But the sync 
process is nowhere near as reliable as it used to be, and probably 
shouldn't be depended upon.
