Don't copy and paste your private keys, ever.

You never need you owner key except for changing all your keys, so it should not be stored in the same place as your posting and active key if you really want to keep copying them.

I suggest the keychain extension, no more copy & pasta.

This is a great service. I have seen some of your comments over my time on HIVE. This is the first time I'm reading one of your reports.
