I don't recall seeing anyone asking him to do that, nor him refusing to do that. Perhaps you might ask him, and *then* see what happens. I've seen demands to upload a key to a keyserver, and I fully understand anybody's objection to doing that. Posting a key in here wouldn't subject that person to the spam problems that some keyservers create. Though, it still wouldn't be a very trustworthy public key to add to your keyring. > But he demanded that we send him an email asking for his > key. This is being polite? Get real... You do realise that (a) asking someone to send you their PGP key if you want it is a very old and quite standard, way to get their key. You're being a bit uppity at not liking that option. And, (b), it's up to the person to decide whether they want to give their PGP key out to someone else. > But I guess asking anyone to be a good list member is not acceptable > on this list any more.

That all rather depends on how the asking, and pointing out, takes place. > Politeness is sadly lacking from some members.
