21 Thanks. Two confirmations that it's not just me. Any man-in-the-middle
22 that was in the middle for all three of us would be pretty well placed,
23 so I'll take it that it's not that. (Not that it's likely, when phishing
24 is so much easier, but you never know...)

26 Yes, I'll probably download the new certs. Now I just have to figure out
27 where they go! =8^) Probably not too hard, and anyway, now that I know
28 it's not just me, I can accept the BofA cert manually and get my bills
29 paid, thus taking the urgency out of fixing the root cert thing.

31 Confirmation that others were having issues too was the /big/ hump to get
32 over, so thanks again for that! =8^)
