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?
