Eric Hughes writes, regarding the issues of keyserver incompatibility:
Why might not one want a key distributed? It indicates use of cryptography, for one, and, perhaps, the use of patent-infringing cryptography.
Well, if having your key on a keyserver encourages people to send you messages you can't decrypt instead of looking for other keyservers which have more useful keys for you, it's a waste of your time and your correspondents' to have that key out there. It's also, of course, a way to complain to people who run incompatible keyservers :-) Bill
