   I am not sure I can tie a proper (non-padded) email address to the one I   
   messed up with the program I am using. I'm pretty new to the process. I   
   have to figure out the right rhythm and steps.   
      
   If you were to create an email to me using my current key, would you   
   have to remove the R_E_M_O_V_E part manually each and every time?

   Yes, I pulled that one down.  It has 5 "Also known as" email addresses.   
      
   Key management could be a nightmare across multiple devices.   
      
   It's pretty neat that I can look up old friends and check the properties   
   of the keys.
