Repeating your point doesn't make it more valid. I'm not trying to humilate you, but Richard discredited what you said, by saying that 99% of visitors don't check who the cert is issued by anyway. > I am not trying to humiliate you, but you may want to study about > cryptography and its use for the internet.

You know how important it is to *YOU* how important a trustworthy CA is. You don't seem to know how important it is to anyone else. Granted people *should* ( if they're worried about their encrypted information falling into the wrong hands ) check who certs are issued by, but personally I don't care enough about my webmail password to sift through my pre-installed CA list, and determine which CA's I do, or do not trust. > I operate my own web/e-mail server No offense, but so what? Do you think that makes you different from most people here, many of whom administrate web, email, database, dns, etc? You're on a technical list, and people who admin servers are the norm rather than the exeception. I'm sorry if that seems a bit blunt, but I thought the last reply was a bit arrogant. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
