yeah... i'm not sure bout that... it is either something to do with pulling
the key from a key server or that mess like web site certificates where they
need to be signed by some trusted party... that's where signing others' keys
comes into play but you want to only sign those you /know/ come from the
individual... the more signatures that you trust that are on a key raises the
trust in that key... it is like you meeting me on the street and we don't know
each other at all but if you have five friends vouch for me, your level of
trust in me increases... if i have five friends who vouch for you, my level of
trust in you increases... this trusting also increases for our friends as they
now have another positive link to us and each other...
