CA-Cert has (despite your assertion to the contrary) been operating for
two years, during which time there has been no equivalent error. In an
equivalent time since conception, Verisign had errors where CA-Cert has
not.

So if you were to take a moment to compare apples with apples and set
aside your anti-free bias, you would conclude that CA-Cert has the better
track record.

But of course this is a pointless discussion. People such as yourself and
others in and around the MF have made (and will continue to make) absurd
statements to continuously 'shift the goal posts' in favour of commercial
CAs and to the disfavour of community CAs. For this reason, CA-Cert is
wasting it's time and scant resources jumping though endless hoops
pursuing browser inclusion with MF.
