I am still missing something.  Where exactly does "gpg" on dargo
go to find Joseph Tate's key?

   [porter at dargo porter]$ gpg --fingerprint B5B05C42
   gpg: error reading key: public key not found

Or, specifying a well-known keyserver...

   [porter at dargo porter]$ gpg --fingerprint --keyserver \
                          subkeys.pgp.net B5B05C42
   gpg: error reading key: public key not found


I always get the feeling that this is one of those tools that
is EASY for people who have been using it for a while, and HARD
for people who are just trying it out.
