Why? Real Time uses their own cert for the various different sites, other
people are using their own self signed certs.. the only reason to change
that is to use a 'bigger' central authority (such as thawte) without having
to pay the fee for what costs them nothing, creating yet another half-assed
mini-group is useless.

I did point out the site http://www.cacert.org, which was created for
this exact purpose, they do not charge for certificates, and once you 
approve their root cert, you won't get those annoying warnings in your
web browser/email client/software downloads. It's as easy as clicking on
the link, then clicking OK.

It's also useless for you to be signing certificates if you aren't providing
a root certificate, people might as well self-sign.
