- You'll need to specify the user id. The user id can not change (it is infact encoded in the key) and should represent who (and in what role) uses this key. As an example I have two keys, one is for me personally and has my name and my regular email address, another was created for the purpose of being a common-lisp.net developer, and has my name but uses the mbaringer@common-lisp.net email address.
That's not right, You can associate multiple ID's with a single key, there is no need to generate separate keys for different email addresses.
that's not quite what i meant. What i believe is that you should have one key for each "role" you act, work, personal/family, open source developer, porn star, etc.
If stuff is signed with my work key that means one thing (mainly that I take "business" responsibility for what I'm saying), while stuff i'll sign with the mbaringer@common-lisp.net key is going to be for a very different public. but hey, that's just the way i see it.
