Nope. Nothing of the sort; you have to sign keys for them to be signed
(that may sound like a tautology, but it's really an illustration).

Don't worry; it's there, but it's not in your way.

First, check out
gpg --help
to see what you can do with the program. Read it in great detail --
really! Then take a look at this example:
[zero] [6:47am] ~> gpg --list-keys 0xbc3ff6d4
pub 1024D/BC3FF6D4 1999-05-26 Mike Stella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

sub 2048g/D965F16A 1999-05-26
[zero] [6:47am] ~> gpg --list-sigs 0xbc3ff6d4
pub 1024D/BC3FF6D4 1999-05-26 Mike Stella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The rest is left as an exercise for the student ;-) Note that you
probably don't always want to use --list-sigs, though:
[zero] [6:49am] ~> gpg --list-keys | wc -l
1085
[zero] [6:49am] ~> gpg --list-sigs | wc -l
2929
