Uhhh... that's what I meant to say. (Although I can't think of a circumstance where the fingerprint matters if the reputation is bound to the key only.) While we're on the subject, why are key IDs used anyway? People don't really use them for anything. Software might as well use the complete description of the key internally. For that matter, I'm not sure the the e-mail address and user name are good things to associate with the key. The e-mail address changes all the time. The user name should be assigned by you as part of the authentication procedure, not by the person offering the key.

Yep, I get people asking me to "prove" that the "Tim May" who uses the got.net ISP is the same "Tim May" as "tcmay@netcom.com," which got associated with my original 1992 key generation. I try to tell them, "I'm that same entity, whoever that is, if I can sign messages with that key." They somehow think the tcmay@netcom.com vs. tcmay@got.net dichotomy is what's really important.
