I did. However, I sent the key anyway so that you don't have to go hunting for which keyservers I was able to use. Some of them didn't work. I'll re-try later, but right now there's a few (about two or three - I don't remember exactly) servers which I wasn't able to upload to. The important thing is that I think I got through the process correctly. If I missed something please tell me.
