Hi Boaz, you can easily remove yourself using the web interface, as advertised in the footer: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.
