Yes, the authentication IS excessive. Also over the top is that contract re-affirmation. To throw a bunch of legal horse-crap up as an obstacle to someone hunting for that last piece of data to decide a time-sensitive trade is slimy. And possible unethical. I agreed to a contract when I signed up: I'll live up to my end. When interrupted by bureaucratic nonsense in the course of a trading day I DO NOT take the time to analyze whether Quote.com is renegotiating on the fly. Nor can any true trader reasonably be expected to do so. As such, I expect the legal value of these re-affirmations to be questionable at best. The are irritating and insulting at least. Have a trader remind the legal COMMITTEE that quote.com's end of the bargain is to be up, available and FAST during the trading day. This does not include random inflictions of legalese. Since the decision to delay the transmission of time-sensitive data to inflict contractual backsliding IS under the control of quote.com, such screens may be CREATING a liability rather than indemnifying against liability. Very sincerely, pae
