In the interests of fairness it should be mentioned, as Flip did, that it is a business in its infancy - quite new in this form and growing logarithmically.

In the first nine and a half months of 1996 I made eight trades. That was about average for me for a couple of decades. Then I got my first computer, made maybe twenty more before New Year's. In 1997 I made four hundred and thirty something trades .... cut it back now in an effort to favour quality over quantity, but there's still been close to a hundred already this year. Multiply that times the hundreds of thousands of us.

It's not easy or cheap for them, Flip is quite right there. But somebody will put out the effort and the thought and the bucks to do it well, and they will get the business.
