there are no "market makers". MAYBE omnipay. As I've always pointed out, it is unfortunate that e-gold chose that nickname for exchange providers. it is catchy and everyone finds themselves referring to "MM"s. But it's a meaningless use of the term a "market maker" is a specific bit of lingo from trading floors, anyone who knows what it means would and does laugh at the usual ERE usage of it, unfortunately -- --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
