This might come as a shock to some but....
I pulled his file and pulled his last 4 posts.
Originally "he" (no name) gave a link to an
application download that was 24 mb's in size, and attempted to
overwrite critical files necessary for the proper use of TWS and
common in VB applications (OCX).
The application was restricted to the use of a single symbol and "he"
wanted $150 to unlock it. It had absolutley no documentation as to
what it did..It was a black box program with no explanations
whatsoever.
After I examined his software, and uninstalled it, it attempted to
remove the TWS OCX from my system.
The second version that was released in less then 24 hours, had been
reduced to 4.5 MB...and "he" had unlocked the symbols restriction.
"He" uploaded it this time to our members files area, and once again
I downloaded an examined it. The installation process again attempted
to overwrite key ocx files. Once installed I ran the executable and
got a "subscript out of range error".
3 other members had immediatley posted errors as well, though not all
the same error.
I have no problem with members, who LIKE TODD made an announcement
and has well documented explanation pages that are very clear as to
what a program does. They are welcome to plug their product once and
then from time to time...they can plug again. They can post links in
the Third Party Bookmarks folder.

What I do have a problem with is are super-hyped, large bloated,
disfunctional applications, rushed to release, absent of
documentation as to method or use. I will refuse to allow our board
to turn into a product support board for for a product that needs
more than support...AND I have ZERO tollerance for a member that has
convienetley turned off mail receipts there by FORCING us to
communicate with him via the board....lastley, I find it astounding
that
a developer would offer a black box to other developers, and that
They would be interested....after all...don't we program because we
want more control over our trades, not less?
I told Mr TraderGuard in a private email, that his posts would be
moderated for only one week (one stinking week), and that he should
restrict his discussion to aspects of this board, or aspects related
to the use and implamentation the TWS API....
He hasn't been heard from since.
Their...I came clean....that is the first time I have actually
moderated anything...hopefully its the last...I feel so much better
now....
