Well, E-Trade has been treating me very well. Besides computer glitches and trading difficulties, I still rate E-Trade as excellent on almost all aspects of online trading. You have to remember that online brokerage firms are experiencing leaps and bounds; therefore, they are not perfect. They are making amends to retain customers by accommodating their needs. It will take time for them to smooth wrinkles out.
E-Trade, I believe, probably is the only online brokerage firm that would give out IPO allocations to their customers with less than 100k in their accounts. You will not have a chance with other online brokerage firms if you don't have 100k.
Summing up in a few words, I am content with E-Trade, and of course, with my realistic expectations of E-Trade in terms of trading executions and customer service, I will give them time to make amends and improve on all aspects.
Getting emotional over things like your comment is almost unreasonable. After all, we are human. As you know, the saying goes, "Patience is a virtue."
