I'm an individual investor who uses the SPREDGAR add-in; I've found it o be 
a useful tool for stock analysis, and I want to have it's capabilities 
available for use in the future. SPREADGAR's capabilities  depend on the 
continued availability of the FDS information in both 10-Q and 10-K filings. 
I would be harmed by the elimination of the FDS. I certainly hope you 
reconsider eliminating this information. 
I look forward to any changes that would make the 10-Q and 10-K filings more 
consistent in their content and format without losing important financial 
data they contain along the way.
