And over two minutes yesterday at the close vs LOS...early in the day, the
delay was the "normal" 1 sec vs LOS.  I've seen this erratic behavior with
BMI many times over the past year.  Hell, I was still getting the 3:15
ticks while LOS was posting the settlement!  Is this a BMI or Bridge
specific problem?  Seems REAL fishy that it occurs near the close.

I'm seriously looking at getting other feeds to run concurrently, including
DTN, FS, and CQG.  I will not tolerate a shabby data feed...life is too
short for such aggravations.  LOS really saved my bacon this week.
