I understand that. It wasn't a revoke-type issue, I was just trying to figure 
out exactly how things worked.. I didn't know about the 2nd email becoming 
primary.. ( say newbie).
I'm still learning the difference between addition emails ( UID) and subkeys.
My situation is, I have an ISP, and I don't use their email, except for one 
list that kept bouncing my domain email.
I have my domain, my main email, and a bunch of addresses I use for different 
lists.
I also have a yahoo email account that is almost as old as Yahoo.
I have a work email account, for when I travel on business.

so what is the appropriate way to add all those, or should I even do that?
