I notice you have gpgcheck turned on there.  I tried running "yum 
install tidy" after plugging in your conf, and I the install complains 
about not being able to find the public key.

How do I add the public key to the list?  I tried adding it to my 
regular public key list (gpg --recv.key 1ac70ce6) as root, but that 
didn't seem to do it.
