Hi Jayson. You're making a good point here. Some of the other tools
players have been using have closed due to lack of maintenance
lately. You'll find that many of the best established players aren't
that interested in trading commodities anymore and maintain their
energy stockpile (or dwindle it away) by other means. And DOW is
going to be closing soon anyway. This is going to add a great deal of
challenge in this area and I don't really have a good answer for you
except that something is definitely going to be needed. I'm getting a
feeling, however, that not many people have the sort of time it would
take to build something up from scratch.

Hi Dan,
Possibly, we could look at the solution from another angle. If all we need is
the data, then a text file (or even a .doc file) on an FTP server would do. Not
as pretty as a Web based solution, but FTP would require significantly less know
how, and maintenance to keep up. I think using FTP would probably eliminate the
problem of how to get the data out. Whoever has access to the server could D/L
the data.
