It's a flooding algorithm and it does take time.  Depending on what
keyserver you actually contacted and what keyservers it talks to and how
frequently, it can take hours or more to saturate all the keyservers.

I just refreshed against wwwkeys.us.pgp.net and got another signature
but it wasn't yours.  I'm sure yours will show up in the next 24 hours
if you synced to anything at pgp.net.

Currently, I have 10 signatures from 9 individuals on my 674627ff key
and 11 signatures from 10 individuals on my df1dd471 key.  The
difference is only Scott at the moment and I expect his will show up as
well.
