Madhur - do you have any financial interest in or connection with ObviousSoft? If yes, then it is only ethical for you to disclose this information. I've seen you spam this thing on many boards. It's getting tiresome. And it certainly is not OK to do without full disclosure. Please take note of this. Spam is not appreciated. And I don't think SI wants to be a forum for the promotion of someone's business. Looking at your profile - all you EVER post about is StockTax. Is this the only reason you are on SI? Maybe this ought to be brought to the attention of SI. STOP IT!

Thank you very little Madhur for bringing your package to my attention yet again. I was already quite aware of it from your previous repetitive posts on the subject. But since you slapped me in the face with it: not choosing your package was deliberate rather than an oversight. I chose to not add another piece of software to the list I am dependent on. Particularly software that feels more shareBEware than SHAREware. Perhaps your level of promotion has reached the diminishing returns level? Seems ObviousS to me. I was able to accomplish my goal, which was to validate my Excel-based trading records against the Datek 1099-B sales total. Sucking them into Excel manually worked just fine. And without adding another black-box (as in error-source) to the mix. While I admire your entrepreneurial zeal, I would prefer not to. Thank you, good luck and please don't call at dinner time.
