Oh, is there a porc key server? 

Why does there need to be one?

What's wrong with the myriad public keyservers that are already out there for you to use?

[picaro]

Nope.  Just curious why I didn't see public keys for people here on the MIT keyserver.

Of course it doesn't work so well when you have smilies enabled.

Well.... you might have to substitute a few ':'s and ')'s  for the emoticon.

Look at it this way... the signature guarantees you've got the original text correct after you plug at it for awhile!
