Hi Jimmy,
your first sentence sums up exactly my point. A list should not have
censorship of the type I was referring to which is restricting
discussion to one specific product for profit purposes. And since it is
private that is why it has not ever had it.

John,
I don't think there has ever been any censorship on this list. The
Omega-List has no connection to Omega or Tradestation. Jim Osborne
is the administrator and I believe he put the list up and maintains
it all by himself. He is just one of us. The Omega salesman that I
got TS4 from mentioned the list to me in a very arms length but
helpful manner.
We are not supposed to sell our fantastic system on the list or
anything else but in response to some posters need we can mention
products that will address the need. Let me just quote the Etiquette
part of the email I received only nine years and one month ago from
the Omega-List
"Etiquette
---------
This list is for the discussion of issues important to professional
traders, people who earn their living trading in the financial
markets. It was started as a forum for the ad hoc support of users,
by users, of Omega Research Corporation's Tradestation software.
Later, users of Supercharts and System Writer joined the fray.
Please note, though, that Omega Research has no official connection
with the list, and neither approves nor sponsors the content.
Occasionally a member of the Omega team may listen in, and perhaps
contribute, but not in any official capacity.
Although the list was started with an Omega support function in mind,
list members frequently discuss other, non-Omega related trading
topic. Any subject is welcome, as long as it is pertains directly to
serious trading.
Please respect the time and intelligence of the list's
readers--people who may know more than many of us, and who don't have
time for political discussion or personal attacks. The quality of
answers we all receive to our questions depends on our not driving
away these knowledgeable readers with noise."
Sorry if there are any typos or errors but that does sum up the
essence of the list. I guess we used too much noise and drove away
the better readers or perhaps we all have no problems anymore.

Hi,
I remember when 30+ messages a day was standard for this list back in
1998 when I was actually using TS 4.0 EOD. Where do the TS traders hang
out now? Is it the Omega Research forum? Is it Elite trader? And is it
not sometimes better to have a list outside of the company product forum
list so other products can be talked about without censorship? As an
example when I was on Qcharts I actually had mention of MultiCharts
removed from one of my esignal/Qcharts forum threads because the
administrator can do this. Is this what Elite Trader is for?(to
eliminate this censorship).
John.
