Wow, a whole 25 certs out of how many million?  That's almost as many as the
number of ones using the CA's CEO's shoe size as the exponent, and is rapidly
approaching the number using the IT director's license-plate number as the
exponent.

Is there any pattern there?  Are they all used by the same organisation, or
issued by the same CA?

Peter.
