Dear Sirs,
     
        This email is a follow up to a prior one that I submitted adressing
proposed rule SR-NASD-98-21.  
        I think that the way the comment period was extended was a complete
sham.  The self regulating NASD discovered the public's discontent and 
advertised to the market makers that they needed something good to say about 
their proposal.  It seems as though the market makers and the NASD are 
conspiring against the public investor yet again.  (eg. the 1 Billion dollar 
judgement)  Is this biased approach just?  Have you looked at any other 
statistical studies?
        I do hope that you take the NASD behavior into account when judging
on this rule.
     
Sincerely,
