I am just curious, but why did you have to go through so much trouble to
revoke a Key? We are currently in the process of updating our PGP-Basics
Lists' GnuPG/Windows Help File, and in it we mention that once the file
that was first created in the revocation process is imported back into
your KeyRing, all that remains is to upload the Public Key to the
KeyServer. Is that not true?
