Although you're not making money for verifying such information (like a Certificate Authority would), you are taking a step toward making sure that the successfully-encrypted connection will be made with a site you personally trust (even if Firefox or IE do not automatically). Many commercial and non-commercial entities also maintain their own Certificate Authorities. Installing their authoritative certificate can be quite easy and save time with errors and warnings in the future. Thanks for the post on SSL!
