OT: Problems with GoDaddy SSL cert request

[Charles Jones]

It shouldn't take days to get a simple $29 SSL Cert (It's not even one
of the expensive ones that verifies your identity). It also shouldn't
take days to respond to support email, or to even acknowledge receipt of
a fax that they requested. GoDaddy = FAIL.

It may take a while to work through their system.
