Someone had a keysigning last night without me? The official one didn't
actually take place until after you'd sent that email, so I suspect the
signature you got wasn't directly related.

Willy raised an excellent point that everyone else needs to note
carefully though. I'll follow up with another more detailed email later,
but just to reinforce what I said at the keysigning itself: if you're
not satisfied with the ID or have other concerns about someone at a
keysigning, *don't* sign their key. You're under absolutely no
obligation to sign any key at all unless *you* are convinced of their
identity. Don't be pressured into it, or just sign it because it's on
the list.

Oh, and sorry everyone for the keysigning chaos and the fact that we had
to fall back to Plan B. At least we got through it in the end.

Cheers   :-)
