With all the complaining about BMI/Signal and other R/t providers on this list,
why the hell isn't everybody going to FutureSource or CQG?  Never any

Of course, FS and CQG are more expensive, but as the old rancher always said,
sometimes the cheapest oats have already been run through the horse.

Isn't there too much money at stake to be putting up with toys?
