Hi Kevin!
Good to hear from you!
OK, "friend-of-friend" makes some sense. I just don't completely grasp
the concept of "how much" you should trust a GPG key or signature.
Having read the GPG FAQs more than once, the trust metric still seems
hazy. Or maybe I'm dense. Or perhaps trust is intrinsically a foggy
thing. I have a nasty suspicion that the "dense" option is a likely
scenario. ;-)
In any case, if theres a convenient (for you!) way to exchange key
signatures, I'd like to do it.
thanks!
Ed
