pgpdump for the three selfsigs on 0xB02966748B362A2F's userid shows:

        Hashed Sub: signature creation time(sub 2)(4 bytes)
                Time - Thu Aug  7 04:34:20 EDT 2003
        Hashed Sub: key expiration time(sub 9)(4 bytes)
                Time - Fri Aug  8 04:34:20 EDT 2003


        Hashed Sub: signature creation time(sub 2)(4 bytes)
                Time - Thu Aug  7 04:19:30 EDT 2003
        Hashed Sub: reason for revocation(sub 29)(47 bytes)
                Reason - User ID information is no longer valid
                Comment - Somehow lost my public key and can't fix it...


        Hashed Sub: signature creation time(sub 2)(4 bytes)
                Time - Wed Aug  6 00:55:36 EDT 2003
        Hashed Sub: key expiration time(sub 9)(4 bytes)
                Time - Sun Mar  8 23:55:36 EST 2009

so the userid was revoked but shortly thereafter given a quick expiration
instead of the whole key being revoked, probably due to the "lost" pubkey.

Also, FWIW, it looks like 0x5A103307 replaces this key, but its revoked
signatures on 0xA5692B69 are strange.  I think the keyholder is still a
newbie.  :(
