This is probably a good idea since there's really no reason to NOT have
your key on a public key server.  The keyring I'm accumulating will
simply be for convenience sake so someone can import the entire ring
without having to specify each key on a --recv-keys plus I can print out
sheets of key fingerprints for the meeting making it easier (and FASTER)
for everyone.  But you still need to sign each key.  I think Bob Toxin
had some scripts for that, too.  Still...  To each his own.  We have our
own policies and procedures and that's part and parcel!

Regards,
Mike
