I mean something else. On the key servers, I find 4 different keys for
"Jonathan Angliss". Each is signed to only one address. Here are the
different addresses:

jangliss-at-erggroup.com
angliss-at-cableinet.co.uk
(another key for the same address)
j_angliss-at-tcs-systems.co.uk

(I have manually replaced the "@" symbol with "-at-" so as to not
facilitate harvesting your addresses from the archive.)

Maybe you weren't aware that all these addresses are publicly
available?

Right. I have one or two keys on the servers, but of course I have no
revoke key, I don't even remember the passwords.
