I don't get it in a more meta sense; trust is not fungible. I have good friends that you cannot trust, and you have good friends that I cannot trust, so a key signed by either of us will be meaningless in just two steps. ...which means that, if I find a person with a key "signed by Zoner!", it might as well have been something you did while you were drunk for all the good it does me.
Well, it isn't necessarily that kind of trust. It is more that my me signing their key I'm saying I met them in person and verified their identity. So if you deal with them later you have some measure of trust that it is really C you're dealing with, and not D pretending to be C.
I make no promises that this journal will be timely and/or interesting - it is just what spills out of my brain. If you're someone you think I should 'friend', tell me who you are. Sometimes I can't tell by checking LJs of people who friend me. :-)
