Hehehehe. Thank you. I have a personal rule that I never reveal a
private conversation on a list, even if it seems innocent. I've tested
out my asbestos undies that way more than once... :-)

In fact, no. Even though I imported your key directly from your website,
it still thinks that key is expired. So - is it: Gpg? Evolution?
Something odd with Feisty? I have no idea. Signing your key with mine,
and specifying the high level of trust didn't help either. 

Here's what Evolution says:
