I tried to download your public key from several servers - without any luck. As your using Thunderbird you can always attach your public key. As for key signing - then face to face communications are better. I've asked myself "what is the importance of people signing my keys?" There is no valid reason as far as I can see - though people like to build the web of trust - and for the most part - people on here are who they say they are - and over the years you get to build up trust. Though having said that I'm not about to rush out and sign every one's keys. Why not start your own group? There are lots of Linux groups around the world - unless your stuck in the middle of nowhere! Perhaps you can provide a link to where you uploaded your public key?
