Now i am a bit confused... Then maybe a "funny" design flaw? I mean
what should users unfamiliar with the whole WoT procedure may
think when seeing a fake "sig3" (which they may not spot) and then
clicking on the key-id in question, which then links to the original
key?

Well, as i mentioned previously i have have no longer access to my key,
due to my stupidness. I may consider to create a new one for posteo
usage, but this may take a while.
