Can't I just create a public key with the Harald's name and email

However, those who care about whether it's me or you posting will
look at who signed it - that's why my key block is so huge; it's got
all these signatures dangling from it....
So the level of trust depends on the number of signatures?
Can I also ask other lots of people to sign the key I create and then
pretend I'm Harald?
Otherwise, if certain of people who signed your key are "special", or
are highly trusted, can I ask who are those people?
Thank you, I imported it, but the signature of previous messages
didn't verify, sorry.
I know - signing messages that will be damaged in transit is a VERY
hard problem....
Right :-)
