OK...More Interesting still.

I Revoke a UID and provide a 'Reason' (which GnuPG allows)

My Reason:  Changed ISP  (in my Case the Truth; joimail.com to
bellsouth.net)

Now I Upload to the Keyservers; what happens to the Signatures on my
former UID?  I still do not know.

Based upon what what I have read/been told....no worries.  I signed both
New UIDs. And most of the Sigs were on my Generic UID.  Therefore >
Trust should follow with the signing of the new UID by a Good sig from
the Generic UID.

I kinda feel that this is where the GSWoT Sig on my New email address
counts for something.
