except if you already have uploaded to a keyserver you won't be able to delete the uid very effectivly since keyservers only merge data, not remove. same thing with anyone who already has your key, if they merge your new key with the new uid they will have a key with both uids. uid deletion only effects your local keyring it will not propagate. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
