Hehe fair play. Being nice is its own reward ;) cheers, MP

I didn't say it was your job to do it. Just something you might share with us since the implication behind your posts is that you have found such an ideal broker. cheers, MP

You are right too :) and I agree with you :) BTW I notice that in my original post I wrote 'hedge funs' rather than 'hedge funds' ... however I have decided to leave the text unedited as it appears to be more correct afterall. Still looking for that broker on a snowy white steed though...
