Subject: option linkage

Does the SEC realize that the four Option Exchanges can't send out 
timely quotes to their customers?
     
Today the quotes are constantly 2 - 7 minutes late.  This is the result 
of so many new options being added recently.
     
THIS IS INSANE!!  And you want them to link???  They can't even send out 
real time quotes!
     
Perhaps you should force the Exchanges to stop adding new series because 
they don't have the bandwidth to handle them!
     
Stop thinking about linkage and start getting customers real quotes!
