pgp public key service is becoming critical infrastructure. unfortunately, i have been unable to get useful key lookup for a long time. i have been trying <http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/> at jeff schiller's recommendation, and <http://bs.mit.edu:8001/pks-toplev.html> which used to work once upon a time. neither work for me.

what are people using?
