Peter: <<The gist is that Datek is selling a unit which does discretionary trading for customers and has been cited for violations. WSJ says they're cleaning up their profile in anticipation of an IPO. Thanks a lot, but I am a subscriber. So could you PLEASE post a little bit more in detail? I really appreciate. Best regard

2 April Everything in my post was real. On being thin-skinned, I have a pretty thick skin, but I am not from NYC, nor is most of the development staff. But since Datek Online provides a great and popular service, but a lot of what you read here are dangerously worded complaints, which a lot of lurkers are unable to put in perspective, I just feel the need to inject a little reality every now and then. 200 alpha testers for level I streaming quotes will be selected by sending us e-mail. I will make a post here first, and then a message on the web site. so SI readers get a first crack at signing up. -peter datek online
