BA8F038D was created primarily for my old LinuxTag email addresses,
which I don't use anymore. Since the time I left LinuxTag in 2005, I use
the 57E37087 key, for signing E-Mail as well as Knoppix ISO checksums
(hence the knoppix@knopper.net mail address).

Why do you trust BA8F038D? ;-)

The key is not compromised, so I never issued a revocation, but I just
don't use it anymore.

Meet me somewhere in person and ask, everything else would be relying on
a third party. But if you are convinced of BA8F038D belonging to me and
not being compromised, it may help when I sign this mail with my old key
for once. :-)
