I'm thinking of starting a CA that sells "super duper enhanced
security" certs, where we make the company being certified sign a
document in which they promise that they're absolutely trustworthy.
To be really sure, we'll make them fax said document in on genuine
company letterhead, since no one can forge letterhead.

ROTFLMGO!

But I've got one better for you. The domain name registrar that I 
have been using went out of business and the domain names were 
handed over to another registrar. In order to gain control of 
them again I have to:

1. Create a free login ID at www.eNomCentral.com (your domain will not be there 
just yet)

2. In order to verify domain ownership, please do one of the following:
a) send a copy of your photo ID matching the WHOIS record for the domain or
b) send a receipt reflecting past payment for the domain

3. Please send an email with your login ID, domain name and domain ownership 
verification to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I asked how they wanted the ID they said a scan of a picture 
of me attached to the e-mail!

Photoshop anyone?

Best,

Allen
