[conspire] Risks ...

[Texx]

Michaels post reminds me of a pet peeve (Think his name is Irving).

People go to the trouble of setting up certs, but cant be bothered to renew
them when they expire.
To me, this makes certs TOTALLY F*****G USELESS (along with the nit wit who
set them up)

Seems like I run into more expired certs than working ones.
Most of the time I turn cert checking off because theres no point to
checking for certs that are pprobably expired.
