That's just half the equation and in the case of public services not even the 
important half: you may be trusting your own certs, but are the ones that 
will use them going to trust them as well?  A certificate in a server is not 
meant to build trust on the owner of the server but on those that use the 
server.

I.E.:  I'll trust this site is in fact Bank Of America because so says 
Verisign.  Contrast it with "...because so says Michelle Konzack".

Ps: Did you manage to get your systems on-line?  It seems my previous email 
was spooled at webmail.codefoundry.com.
