No, I'm not; Duane has accurately portrayed my similar feelings on the matter.
I'm not objected to paying a reasonable fee; I just object to being bent over a
barrel and taken from behind by a company that quite frankly doesn't deserve my
money. A number of corportate certificate issuers are, quite frankly, not worth
the paper it'd use to print out their terms and conditions.
Certification/approval means nothing if there is no re-evaluation of the
system, which there doesn't appear to be any mention of. Things such as one of
the big-name CAs not being able to find documentation provided as proof of
identity (claiming it is in an 'archive') when it comes to renewing a cert
comes to mind.
