I am always happy to have bankers on our list, people who can make sure we know when we are being screwed, I guess that is the class of people. I wonder if this is the right moment for me to mention my experiences with moving money in Argentina when I was a tourist there during the economic problems, more than a decade ago. I wonder if my story or insight is relevant in any way; I also wonder if my commentary on this list -- and yours -- will have any impact on the way banking and commerce works.
