He directly insulted me, clarify how in your thinking, this has anything to do with hero worship? Stating your views without falling back on the needless application of profanity is something I'd appreciate.
I agree, LetsEncrypt has done a great job. My original comment was snarky though accurate in a focused sense concerning the actual creation of a self-signed certificate (which can be easily cron jobbed). Of course I understand and appreciate that there is the whole negotiating the larger certificate scene, multiple companies, politics, etc. and that takes time, talent, effort and money. If LetsEncrypt had just come out from the start and said, "we can offer this service for X dollars" then it would have been more transparent.
Crap, I recently switched to these guys because it has some big names behind it. I'd avoided it for a long time because I knew there would be a please donate, hard luck story at some point and I still fell for it. Now I'll have to consider going back to GoDaddy.
Lots of times, unforeseen questions come up at meetings, in fact, if they don't; that's a sign the meeting wasn't really productive at all. Google should be on a large screen in the conference room. Or Bing if you're into that. Most meetings I get invited to end up with "action item" which means really, people go back to your desks and Google, research, test, decide, etc. so we can have a followup meeting to decide what we could have decided together in the first meeting if we didn't shut ourselves into a conference room, away from the world on the pretense that the meeting will be 100% productive that way.
