>>"Further, a competent computer programmer can custom build the heart of such a financial-information website - its discussion forum - in a week or two. Give it a design, add some news feeds and quotes, and the Internet's latest financial attraction is ready to roll out on the information superhighway."

Anybody who knows anything whatsoever about the subject knows how incredible that statement is. The only point it really makes is how uninformed the author is on such matters, which apparently extends to some of his other assertions as well.

P.S. I have over 800,000 lines of program code to my credit. Not only is a friendly user design a challenge to achieve, but creating a system that is stable, scalable and easily modifiable is also very complex. If it's so damn easy, why is it that there are no other major chat sites with an interface as elegant or robust as SI?
