begin Aaron Lehmann quotation:

> I've been to key signing parties before....

Well, I'll be charitable, and hope/assume that you had fewer problems
with those.

> ...and you are misquoting a private message. 

Not so fast, kiddo:  I quoted nothing from private mail.

> Please don't take such cheap shots....

The relevancy lies in the irony of you, who had the biggest problem
of anyone in following the technical requirements of the protocol, 
insisting that there's no need to see through its conclusion.

> ...that are completely inaccurate.

What, embarrassed to admit in front of other Debian developers that 
you sent your key fingerprint for the keyring, and were all set to 
bring your public key (rather than its fingerprint) to the picnic?
And that you were the reason why I felt compelled to send out that
last-minute reminder on Friday with examples of what a fingerprint
is, and how to distinguish it from a public key?  That's understandable.
