My reason for keeping items 1 and 2 separate was that item 1, quotes-plus-data, is an "exceptional error", whereas item 2, quotes-plus-dividends, is more or less 'expected'.
See Gary's recent post 12/16/06, 10:33pm, [quotes-plus] Re: Complaints, complaints and more complaints: "For equities, the exchange is responsible for tracking all corporate actions, do they all have a compliance department that tracks them closely and send them out on their data feeds. That's why stock dividend announcements are almost always on time. Mutual funds have no requirement to release this information to anyone other than their clients, so they can do as they please." Also with item 2, a user might be encouraged to include what he/she 'thought' the dividend should be. Someone else, if he chose, could edit his own data using this suggested value until the 'real' value came from QP. investor0329 wrote: > > Something like this would be find with me as long as the group with > error messages listed would be looked at.
