Dennis,
    
I think it's you who missed the point-- I was well aware of who is offering
the promotion that Michael mentioned and I happen to agree that it is
misleading.   
          
Despite your perception, I'm not always defending Omega, but I do point out
inaccuracies and blatant irrational comments and unfair bashing that
sometimes appears on this List.  
              
I use TS daily, and have for several years.  It is a very useful toolbox in
the hands of someone who has learned how to use it successfully-- despite
its well documented shortcomings.  It frequently gets a bad rap from people
who either don't know how to use it, or are simple frustrated with their
inability to achieve trading success with it and prefer to attack TS or
Omega instead of looking deeper to find the real source of the problem.
      
Imo, the world is not black-and-white and neither Omega nor all of its
products are perfect.  The same is true of any company and any line of
products.  It's unfortunate that you can't separate the incident and the
facts that relate to it from your hatred and anger toward Omega.
