Yeah, it fooled me. There was a 'delete this listing' button. It didn't
delete my key, just my listing. I added the listing back.
I'll hit the docs to figure out the revoke address thing... I knew you
could revoke an entire key but not an address. I editted the key and
remove the sig but everytime I re-import the trilug ring it get added back.
Can I update the entry on the trilug ring?
