Look, that's all very nice, and I'm sure everyone had saintly if not 
godlike intentions, tra la.

But I'm short on time, and it's really simple:

One day delayed, I gave a replacement location for the party keyring, and
a new mailbox to send signed keyrings back to.  And asked that they be
sent there.

Which has garnered, thus far, signatures from Dmitriy, Don, and Morgan.  
(Thanks!)  I await others, so I can finish getting it done properly
(on Wednesday).

And I noticed from looking at list traffic, earlier today, that this
led to at least one _wrong key_ being used.  Thus my desire to finish 
the job, to ensure it's done right -- and to thus prevent my earlier 
work from being wasted.

You want to make _my_ life easier?  Then deal with the request, and cease this 
parade of irrelevancies.  Either a simple "No" or "Here's the signed keyring"
would fit the bill.
