I agree with almost everything in that post.

If they really want to reduce the volume of "meaningless" trading, stop the penny-spread experiment and go back to nickel spreads. Three cent spreads would likely to do it, too, but in my experience people can't add in 3s too good. :)

It's simple, and doesn't require bucketing trades, pausing the tape, "fixing" prices or any of that other stuff that will INCREASE, not decrease, the level of uncertainty, and therefore the level of instantaneous volatility.
