exactly but the FTSC has been falling afoul of that in the last years... mainly
lead by one or two individuals... especially those that refuse to recognise
othernets... we won't even mention those that try to push their own pets like
harping on others' software's quoting methods... that harping has lead to more
than one operator changing software and still being haruanged about their
choices... certainly not the attitude that a FTSC member should be
exhibiting... but anyway...

they don't... some do and try to bring this up only to be shouted down by those
that refuse to recognise othernets...
