I just thought of something. If for some reason your /own/ key is no longer
trusted, you can make signatures all day but it won't increase validity.

If you do --edit-key A8983CE7, what does its trust say?

Your own keys should normally be trusted ultimately, so if it's not trusted,
just give the --edit-key command "trust" and choose option 5.

HTH,

Peter.
