 Well Karl you do a charter and post these groups to alt.config and see
 what happens from there. 
 
 I like the names indeed. Here in NZL we have to my knoweldge only 5 
 financial institutions including 2 banks, the goverment treasury,
 one fx company and the other is a broker. So we can get some traffic 
 from this country at least.
 
 I received several emails from other banks after I left you the this
 thread the other day.  I suggest you go for it and see how you get
 on.  
 
 What do you think?
