[I responded to you in #abcl, but you didn=E2=80=99t return to read the =
memo].

Most (all) ABCL releases have been signed with my personal key =
associated with <[email protected]>.  This key was listed in the =
HKP databases ("openpgp.mit.edu"?), but I guess they got taken down =
after the poisoning attack (3-4 years ago?).  The key now seems to be =
listed with keys.openpgp.org <http://keys.openpgp.org/>.  Is that enough =
for you to trust the key, or would you like me to make some sort of =
cryptographic commitment that this is my key? =20
