   https://pgp.surfnet.nl/pks/lookup?search=abolins&fingerprint=on&op=index   
      
   Thank you for that.  Yes, that list looks the same at the other servers   
   that I tried.  Syncing is working!   
      
      
    WvV> I get that same one in my list, ..   
    WvV> ..I can import it from the keyserver: ..   
    WvV> But afterwards it can't be listed: ..   
      
   If my original key has either expired or is no longer compatible with   
   the newer PGP since then, that is probably a good thing.   
      
      
    AA>> This is what I did with a bunch of 3 1/2 diskettes a few

    WvV> You have too much time! ;)   
      
   It was something one could do rather mindlessly while watching TV.  I

   cubic foot of diskettes in less than 3 hours.   
      
      
    AA>> As an aside: I like the "status" page at

    AA>> It would be fun to see a similar live version of something   
    AA>> like that for the modest 900 IP nodes...But I digress.   
      
    WvV> Fun for some, but painfull for others: It would embarrass a   
    WvV> lot of hosts, because it would show how bad their segments   
    WvV> are maintained in the nodelist...   
      
   The squeaky wheel gets the grease.    
      
   There is another one that I first mentioned in FUTURE4FIDO in April:   
      
     https://fido.net.wisc.edu/   
      
   A version for Fidonet IP/BBS network status would be very cool.  But I   
   digress..
