i did have to use --allow-non-selfsigned-uid when i imported my public
keyring but my keys are signed by myself...

i don't know... i certainly am not going to pay someone to certify that i
am who i say i am... in the same way as i won't pay for advertising my
products... i prefer word of mouth... it is more trustworthy ;)

that key id is mine... there are numerous ids associated with it... here's
what it looks like from pgp 2.6.2... notice how the wkitty42{at}gmail.com
address is listed first followed by "domain alltel.net is dead"
which is then followed by the dead wkitty42{at}alltel.net address... sure, i
could remove those dead ids but then folks who know me by them wouldn't be
able to use them to contact me... by doing it this way, we can send a
message to use another id and why... possibly later those old ids may be
removed but the preference it not to remove them... maybe i need to sign
that new gmail.com id? hummm...

so now look at how gpg lists the ids...

===== snip =====
$ gpg --list-keys 0xb60c20c5
pub   1024R/B60C20C5 1992-11-30

i don't know why gpg lists those at the bottom of the stack instead of at
the top... i added them with pgp on the pgp system and then exported them
again... maybe i need to remove them from my gpg rings, export them from
pgp again and import them again?
