I guess it is more a perception problem than an issue then. My concern was
that my original key, the primary email address was changed. Both email
addresses were still in the key, so I guess it isn't a problem so much as an
aesthetic issue. Now I'll go back and add the UID for the second email,
thanks for clarifying!
