OK, i must have experienced some wishful thinking and probably why i
never sent this message back in May.

Is there such a thing as a subset of notaries that can vouch for
Thawte and other CAs?  If so, bring him to the next OLUG meeting and
we could have a key signing party and generate cool graphs and then
form a company that gets bought by LinkedIn for millions because it
would provide decent proof of identity.  Banks and Facebook connect
type things need something like this.

These graphs are so cool - LinkedIn should have done this by now.
