If you can't reach pgpkeys.mit.edu, or find my credentials on the other services,
there might be something horribly amiss with your configuration?!?  But note
that 7F7214A7 is subordinate and no keystore indexes by it.

  Primary key fingerprint: [...] B55D 9977

gives you the clue you need, B55D9977 is publicly published.

In any case, it will *NOT* be trusted.  You have to personally trust someone
within the WoT (web of trust) before such credentials are trusted.

If I know your brother's second cousin who is an expat where we met in Austria,
and we signed each others keys, then perhaps that would happen.

Otherwise, you need to either trust the KEYS file you downloaded, or build a
web of trust to someone who does.

Hint: there are two options, trust and localtrust.  If you sign with localtrust,
you won't spread your own identity and credentials through the internet when you
try resyncing :)

Yours,

Bill

For the record, the datum above is correct.  Trust only the master signing key
B55D 9977 and my subkeys will follow.
