I have a problem with this response.  The message that Eddy quoted
appears to be a "canned" message (equivalent to a form letter).  This
was put into use without proper quality assurance (QA).  The whole issue
under discussion reflects a general disregard for QA, with this message
merely another example.

I find these failures of Certstar's QA processes alarming when you
consider the purpose of certificates.  That is, if you can't get a
simple canned message correct and allow several certificates to be
signed without verifying that the subscriber is authorized, what else is
amiss in your QA department?

Do you even have a QA department?  If so, is it independent of marketing
and other departments within your company?
