Good post, but I must disagree that the days of those pumps are long gone. They're not as high-profile these days, but they're still around. I don't have a full list of the pumps as I don't like to play them, but for starters have a look at PNAT. It's got about 30 consecutive green days.
My last post today so I won't be able to write any more until tomorrow. Have a nice day :)
