It was most fun in the old days, before the Ten Blessed Methods. You'd get this contrast between the wild imaginations of anti-DNSSEC people who imagined every certificate application is investigated by some combination of Jason Bourne and Sherlock Holmes - and a reality where it's just somebody got a blurry fax from a law firm in another country and so they pressed OK because everybody knows lawyers are honest.
Are you not watching CT logs for domains you work on?
I also run smaller monitors and auditors for my own interest as an active participant in m.d.s.policy. Which is why it's always weird to hear your version of what goes on there, since you don't participate and seem to base your understanding on something like a tabloid newspaper report or a Hollywood script rather than the reality.
Don't mistake any of that for me not keeping up with these groups. Your arguments still have to make sense to succeed; you do not in fact have an "I post on m.d.s.policy" card to play here.
