As usual, Jonah, it takes only a couple of exchanges before we…converge. Griping about Grasso is just fine with me–if, in particular, his huge comp package resulted from some sort of backroom deal that was kept from ordinary members of the exchange, the wheelings-and-dealings should be brought to light and howled about–as long as it’s clearly understood the Feds ought to keep their hands off. (As for being snippy, I never noticed. I guess that means I hadn’t had my coffee yet myself.)

I’d better post this, right now, before I start blubbering about how much I love you.
