You can't delete comments, but as you write you could delete the UID and re-add it without the comment. If you have not uploaded your key that is fine. If you have uploaded please keep in mind to revoke that old UID before you delete it. > I see that I can set a specified uid to be the Primary one, and I assume that > the uid with the comment is the Primary.

The benefit simply is, that your friends know that the several addresses belong to you and which key to use in order to write to them encrypted. Cheers, steve > Enough for today.
