Geotrust is not Verislime, but they *are* Choicepoint.
If you don't know who Choicepoint is; well, they vacuum up
your personal data and resell it to all comers. Google on
"Choicepoint FTC" for a rundown. Sort of John Poindexer's version
of Halliburton......a private sector Big Brother.
I regard Verislime vs Choicepoint as like Joey ("The gang that
couldn't shoot straight..") Leonand's outfit vs. the Colombian
mobs.
Sigh, I'll be sticking with Verislime for buying certs, I guess.
