GPG Recipients List

[Oertel, Paul]

Tom,

I have nothing against registering it on a key server. I just haven't gotten
around to doing it. I'm not really sure if I can reach the key server
through our firewall. Is there a web interface that I can use?

I am just interested. why is your key not available on a keyserver?
Is there something against publishing it on a server?
