Public keys stored on different server

[Juergen M. Bruckner]

Hello Martin,

so I think these people want to make it as easy as possible for others 
to get the public key. I also make my keys available on my website and 
via WKD and DNS.
 From my point of view it is also a kind of security for people who want 
to write to me that they have my real key - and not a fake one.

regards
Juergen
