Key Analysis 10 Aug 2001
The following stats are being pulled from a keyring that was exported from pgp.dtype.org on August 9, 2001. Before reading this, please be sure to view the explanation of this analysis and read the FAQ before asking me any questions about it.
The strong set MSD raw analysis is available here. Please read the FAQ to explain how to read this file. This file includes all keys reachable from the strong set. Look up reports for individual keys in the raw output directory. Here you can also see what keys are signed by each key (otherwise very difficult to find).

Best connected keys (shortest distance to)
Please read about the mean shortest distance (MSD) calculated here in the analysis explanation. Here are the top 50 keys. Look for your own key in this month's raw analysis (see above). Note that the only keys analyzed were those reachable from the strong set. I've included some of my own comments on people I recognize. I'm sorry if you're listed here without a comment. If you email me a quick phrase to describe what you do that would be of interest to readers, I'll put it in.
The average MSD is 6.6224, in the set of 10,153. The median value is 6.1993.
