Okay, an e-mail it is. Or was. This morning right after I posted, I took that five minutes I waited for the site and all to come up and did send this off. I got 2 auto replies earlier, and now this one was in my box. Almost makes me feel like I'm a human instead of a number with average # of trades per week next to it. See how far a few words can go. On both sides. Nice post too Gil. Well spoken. ______________________________________________________________ August, suggestion #2 is a good idea and is something that is being worked for release in a few months.ÿ Suggestion #1, of course, would be a good one.ÿ We have a meeting this afternoon to see what's to be done with the Web Authentication system.ÿ We'll see what happens. Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming. Thank you, Craig Simmons, Senior Technology Support Representative Technology Support Group Ameritrade (Inc.)
