In a message dated 98-01-08 16:35:17 EST, you write to Rod Grisham:

<< I haven't found it a tedius process.  It simply is necessary to correct the
 intial bad tick and then reload affected charts.
 
 It only becomes a big problem if someone who doesn't know what to do tries
 to edit the wrong prices that follow instead of correcting the intial bad
 value.  That can create a terrible mess.  Omega doesn't need a special
 routine to fix the problem, they only need simple instructions.

I gather your comments are directed at Omega technicians. 
After all, it was they who deleted the INTC data from the January 5 
Nasdaq tick file, claiming -- quoting from their ftp site -- that "the 
entires day's  data for INTC is bad." 
  
Imagine, eight years in business, and they still do not know how to 
remove a bad tick... That'll teach them, and us, too.

Or, you got it wrong. Next time, before you switch into a 
pompous mode, please check the facts first -- in this 
case, the actual original INTC Jan 4 intraday tick file. It can not be 
corrected by simply correcting the first bad tick and reloading. Ask 
Rod. He tried it before he sent me the file for correction.
