        And I did get my account and cert shortly after. So they are quick.

        On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd trust a cert where they
        happen to be the ones generating the key and the CSR themselves.
        Yes, it's free, but that doesn't mean I want to give up all forms
        of security :)
