Pat, I can't disagree with that. If you have a market making
connection (which virtually all these guys do), you should
have to disclose what you're doing along with your comments.

In fact, since you said it, I'll say you've fingered my
(personal) opinion of the proper function of government
regulation of commerce, to wit: (1) Say what you want but
you must prove what you say or clearly label it as opinion;
(2) you must disclose everything relevant to what you said
in (1), opinion or not.

That's it. Scrub all the other rules.

Of course, I may have to eat part of these words if they
ever come down to a proof of the pudding; but
since we don't seem to be in any danger of implementing
them, that seems unlikely.

Now, aren't you sorry you gave me the opening? I generally
try not to impose this sort of stuff on people, but fail
in that effort from time to time.

Regards

Spots
