lps.... As one of the dozen or so readers here that are very much interested in your comments, let me assure you that your thoughts are being seriously considered. Our attention to detail here has been frayed for some time (you've probably noticed the gibberish filed here by detractors who know little, and care less about the trading profession and the evolution it is experiencing). Most of us I would assert, do not view ATG's approach as an effort at supplanting the operations of industry professionals. Rather, company management's approach, to my understanding has been to take pains in positioning itself to enhance the goals and profitability of its trading partners. I'll make this one and only assumption- that you have glanced over the co's website to review this approach to integration and reciprocity (commission sharing) with it's partners. Some of us were apprehensive early on when this approach was announced and detailed to us over time, but the common sense of it from our view has settled the debate. Would you mind commenting on the attractiveness, or lack thereof, of ATG's revenue-sharing policy with those choosing to use the eVwap "tool"? Rob and Mark are much better versed in ATG system particulars than many of us astn investors. Again, I and I'm sure others appreciate your responses to them. It has been quite a while since we found someone in our midst willing to share and offer a knowledgeable opinion, and I hope you continue in this vein for as long as you find it interesting and worthwhile.

LPS5, Thanks for your taking the time to respond. Even more, thanks for your taking the time to actually read MST's loquacious posts. (Now MST don't get mad, I deal with a lot of lawyers and it is just your collective nature to try to cover all the bases while you are presenting a viewpoint. You are not nearly as bad in this respect as some that I deal with on a daily basis, and you should know that I do easily follow your orderly thinking on these points.) LPS5 your viewpoint is not unlike some others I have queried in your business about this service. I'm not here to argue with you about that. I just wanted to thank you for your time in responding and sharing your insight. I'm enthusiastic about this company as a startup because I think they will hit a niche for which they have been planning and aiming. I could be wrong, but I am patient. Zebra PS: Mary, I think you do much better on Yahoo where you can actually upset people.
