I think this is a semantic question - you'r correct that this list was not
created and is not maintained by Omega; but I would insist that it IS a
tech support forum. Traders don't subscribe to this list simply to pass the
time of day. They are looking for technical support: support WRT trading
ideas, support WRT data and data feeds, and support WRT trading software.
But more important, I agree with the poster who said that this forum
presents an OPPORTUNITY to Omega which could be of great value (to
themselves AND to us) if they had the wisdom to clean up their act and to
use this forum properly. There are numerous examples of other such user
forums which do, in fact, serve the needs of both users and vendor.
Regards,
Carroll
