Re SI's responses...
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for coming online and lending some perspective. I am glad SI still believes in dialog.
It is of course, as you say, a link. Would you or Brad care to address whether it is a solicitation to visit Datek and whether seeing it on every single page is "bombardment"?
By suggesting a cosmetic alternative, do you mean to imply that SI is not open to eliminating the link, and we therefore can abandon this discussion?
If as you seem to imply the link is to be part and parcel of a trading mechanism, why does it appear on non-stock-specific pages?
I accept without reservation your explanation (you adopt, I take it, V's post) that Russell's response on this matter was not meant to be ill-humored. That said, it was, IMO, how to say it, un-deft.
SI's founders and GNET have created and maintained a fabulous machine in SI; it is very much a compliment that members who appreciate it (and who also help maintain it) will continue to defend it against any real or perceived threat.
Best wishes,
Tom
BTW, re "nobody loves Datek." What a crock. Datek's user numbers speak to that.
