Good point Chris.  

It would be good to know when that 'go live' date may be. 
It seems to be a moving target. ING may be clever but not 
very wise. But in the interim, they are still doing damage 
to this industry - and are getting away with it. Worse, 
this Sasha person seems to be proud of their approach. 

I know that the road ahead may be long and winding, and 
with the odd bump and pot-hole, but it would be good to 
know how much longer we have to put up with the cockroaches 
that live in the gutter.   

Regards
Richard Keeves
