Ah, but Firefox gives the warning "This Connection is Untrusted". Apparently 
the issuer is unknown and it expired March 29, 2008. Maybe he doesn't 
"Understand the Risks", specifically the suggestion "Don't add an exception 
unless you know there's a good reason why this site doesn't use trusted 
identification.". Now, this is a list of security people, so there can't be a 
good reason why the site doesn't use trusted identification.


Although my sarcasm might not show it, I think expired/self-signed certs are 
just fine (better than nothing), and that Firefox is overreacting. I'm just 
pointing out that security is often a complex and difficult tradeoff.
