Okay, I realize that, but I wondered if it was possible to
specify which UID gnupg uses primarily. The problem is that I
have one keypair, with a personal UID and a work-related UID.
When I sign a key,  it is currently specifying that it is signed
by <my key> and and printing my work-related UID along with it.
The problem with this is that it suggests that the company in
some way validates the authenticity of the key, rather than
myself personally. Further, I probably won't work here forever,
and if/when I leave it would be better if keys I have signed do
not have my therefore ex-work UID details on.

Much appreciated
