Hi Idoc,

the short answer is: no. But you can revoke your key if you want. In this case 
you'd have to Revoke all of your User IDs. E.g. in GPG Keychain Access (GKA) 
double click your Key > Key Inspector pops up. Then revoke all the UIDs listed 
for this key. Then they are all invalid and revoked. You'd have to send that to 
the keyserver to be recognized.

You can't delete anything from the keyservers. So if you loose your password 
your key will remain valid and you don't even have a change to revoke it. 
Happened to me once when I first started to use GPGMail. So I learned my 
lesson. ;)


Hope this clarifies this a little,

cheers,
steve
