Of these, I have signed Steve's key from when we met in Cambridge
earlier in the year, and I also signed Colin's new key (38C9D903)
but this isn't yet being used.  So I am just two hops to the key
in the web of trust.  I'm probably just another hop or two by
all the other keys, since I signed Adam and Simon's older keys,
and I also have lots of paths to the keys via other people's
keys.  Even if I had never met any of these people personally,
I'd still only be three or four hops away.



Regards,
Roger
