Hello Randy,

To build on Efrem's questions, perhaps you could also add some insight on why an earlier thread on this topic was deleted from your forum (and after a thread was vanquished on the AA forum at AA's request).

I posted to your forum at the specific instruction of two AA mods. My post included specific questions directed to you regarding the creep of corporate influences on FT. It was of general interest to the community because I received several PMs from members who I don't know saying they shared my concern. My question did not address moderation because the referenced deleted thread on the AA forum was not deleted by the AA mods but by someone in FT/IB management.

Your time is always appreciated.
