It's quite coincidental if you and Stefano wrote the same page with the
same name, especially with a name like "DoItYourselfCertificateAuthority".

However, I also like both versions and would like to keep them both. From
what I can see, it's a job of going through the diff of the two pages and
extracting the original. Once we have both pages seperate, we can think
about merging them.

It's a really handy form, but its strength is also its weakness, in that
free editing means no access control. Guess a way to lower the risk is
also to make of names for the page that are very unlikely to collide with
other work on the page.

So in that sense, it's really funny that the page was replaced. :/
