Stan: well, if you're not torturing yourself by your use of such an inferior service as E*Trade, then why are you complaining about it with such ferocity? If this isn't your version of unhappy, then I sure as hell don't want to see it...

And, of course, there's nothing to stop folks from turning this thread into a place to bitch about E*Trade's service (or the impeachment hearings, or general observations about their day, etc.). You pay your money and you write your message, although as I pointed out earlier, SI has other threads devoted to E*Trade's service, as opposed to EGRP's stock.

What I guess frustrates me, as long as I'M the one bitching, is that this is a very dynamic stock in one of the most exciting areas of the net, and I'd be very interested to get the point of view from someone as obviously as smart as you about where it's headed. And yes, you've made your point about their service very, uh, comprehensively (as have others...), but is that ALL there is to say? I hope not.

And your shot about AOL completely missed my point--whether people use AOL in "their net infancy" or not is irrelevant, my point was that AOL solved their problems and now has made a fortune for folks who invested in it. What AOL went through is what E*Trade and other online companies are going through right now. They've got about 15 million customers right now--I don't think all of them are "net infants"--but even if they are, my point is that they solved their problems.

But good luck to you, too.
