Somehow, my suggestion on a way to organize the FAQ(s) got interpreted as my
volunteering for the FAQ Master job. Fred was the one who actually first
voiced the idea and nominated himself to maintain them. I hereby and
forthwith second his nomination of himself. In furtherance of my
secondarily foisting the job upon him, I will forward to him privately (so
as not to repeat the same old same old to everyone again, my delete key is
sore also) my opinions on the brokers I have had recent experience with, my
length of time trading the markets in question, my opinons on the data
vendors I have recently used, and my opinions on network connection sharing
software I use. As for Tick Count information, we should probably all
collect information on the same day or span of days so I will await further
coordinating instructions on that issue.
Fred, if you still want the job, perhaps an explicit request for such
information would be appropriate. Personally, I think it is a great idea as
do others.

ps. You might want to give yourself the title FAQ Coordinator instead of FAQ
Editor so people don't call you a fascist.

Even though delivered with a whiff of rhetorical sarcasm, it is indeed
a worthy question.
When recently a question was asked about tick counts I referred the
thread to Bobr who I knew had gotten quite deeply into the subject
and posted the results back in April. I participated in gathering
comparative results. He was generous in his reiteration of his work.
I share Dennis's desire to have NEW trading and coding questions and
NEW answers, but I also know that this freshness comes from new
members with new trading ideas. Consequently I welcome them to our
corner of cyberspace.
I even liked the whining about the new TS2000i. When it slowed down I
knew I could convert, and thanks to a couple of guys here whose
solutions/workarounds about upgrading I heeded my installation and use
has been without painful problems.
But the re-occuring "same old" could be solved by a FAQ. I would be
willing to retain, update/edit and post it on a monthly basis, or send
it privately to individuals who were in obvious need of it--IF one
existed.
Dennis and BobR if you would like to start one with some seeds of
contribution I will keep it, post it and add to it as others
contribute.
