True, you don't *need* it, but it would be a better solution than a keyboard
sniffer:
- It could extract the exact information - no need to eyeball to output, less
bytes to send (e.g. in a ping packet), account plundering could be automated
- It would work with programs using the automation interface
- Password drag-and-drop programs wouldn't offer added security
Sure, I got carried away with the better technical solution, but for the sake of
your argument there's no need for it.

Very well, but aren't you yourself a firm 'charting' believer? From reading
books like 'A Random Walk Down Wall Street' (by Burton Malkiel), I've got the
impression that chartists historically don't manage to outperform the market -
despite their belief they can predict future trends from looking at the charts.
I'm sure 'charting' is so controversial that I could dig up plenty of
documentation supporting the idea that it is humbug.
Perhaps you can disprove that notion, too!
All in good fun,
