Wow this is more traffic than the list has had for years. Like many
perhaps I have monitored 'lurked "since the 90's , my biggest
contribution may have been providing data to some poor soul in need.
Nonetheless I always enjoyed the posts . In years past I traded all
the markets , remember the first electronic attempts at the SP .... i
think they were called "cubs" units on the floor. They took your money
really fast.
Now I only trade 6-8 stocks no data issues same code for the last 8-9
years ..... yeah its kinda boring but I make a living . I hope the O
list doesn't go away , I'll be ok but something would be missing in my
trading world.

IMO, the TS forum is by far the biggest reason. If I have a question
to ask, I ask it there. If something is broken, I report it there. I
suggest enhancements and they respond constructively and have even
implemented some of them. There is free code for people to download.
For the most part, there is no spam. They do run a tight ship in terms
of not allowing talk of competing products.
Remembering some of the exchanges here from days gone by, I think it
is quite a coup by TS. They managed to get the bulk of their dirty
laundry hidden away behind secure walls. (The bulk of the TS forums
are not searchable.) I expect it was a very conscious effort as part
of becoming a public company. But regardless of the intentions, for my
purposes it is a very good forum.
I have looked at Elite a few times, and seems you can't go far there
without finding some horses a@# hurling insults and profanities,
calling someone's mother a name... no thanks. Maybe I just hit them on
a bad day.
Well, and then there is myspace and facebook. :-) Kidding aside,
facebook is actually a pretty neat thing. I've lived all over and have
friends scattered halfway around the world. I have found some that I
likely would never have seen again via facebook. There is more to life
than trading.

Subject: Why is omega list so dead and related questions.
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.
