No no! Quite alright! Gnu Privacy Guard[1][2] ( which is open-source PGP ( haha! ) ) They are a way of establishing absolute identity. We sign them in person, with IDs, to verify who is who. This creates a "Ring of trust" so that any person inside the ring can trust anyone inside the ring by the transitive property of trust :) By keysigning, we make the ring stronger -- It is our DUTY and RIGHT to sign keys ( trying to sound like a military recruiter here ). It's a cool way to meet other nerds, too.
