An Open Letter to Scott Lux:

Dear Scott,

Way back when, I could get a chart on SI without much trouble. Pretty good charts too.

Not any more.

Now when I want a chart, I get a pop-up browser window for ScottTrade. No pun intended. I get the pop-up on other features too.

This marketing abortion is in the same league as that inside-the-text-box line ad carp you guys tried last year.

Words cannot describe how annoying it is to see a !$%!$%!$#% broker ad pop-ups on this site. I don't know whose idea it was, but I hope you're making a lot of money on it. I can tell you this: I will never, ever do business with ScottTrade. Never. And I will NEVER give SI one more dime.

This place used to be a place where I could go to avoid the [expletive deleted] that your "competition" was doing. At some point, the annoyance outweighs the benefits. You've got a bunch of pay site touts posting to themselves and pop up ads for discount brokers. Next you'll put the text ads inside the message boxes again, right?

I've pretty much had it, Scott. Nothing personal.
