I came across this again today, but trying to cement it in my brain as a go-to resource looking for tech and services for RIAs. So maybe I'll just put it all in an article with LinkedIn links and everything:

affinity = a spontaneous or natural liking or sympathy for someone or something
google's words, not mine.
Now for some of Schwab's words:

Your guess is as good as mine.
