A .com cert goes for $99 semi-wholesale. QuickCerts are even cheaper. That would be a per-year cost. Not too bad.

As for the encryption hit. A lot of sites are already using TLS and self-signed certs. I use it for the hundreds of messages I download/send every day, and other sites that support it use it connecting to my server. Not a huge cost.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
