I strongly second the idea of making XBRL data available. I have tried to find out how to access this data without success - except to learn you need to purchase special software.
The concept of the Thinknum site is excellent, but .... For the life of me I cannot figure out how to use it. (And I think I am at least normally intelligent). And the line items they offer are just the same summary metrics complained about in the first point here.
Anyone want to form a lobby group for making XBRL available to all?
