My bottom line for this discussion is that predictions and even plans for this short term a period are mostly not necessary, again given the caveat I made earlier, as we will know in a period of months what will be what.

I think this really sums up your entire point of view pretty well. People who can't pay their taxes because their money is caught up at Neteller or stuck on Full Tilt might disagree that people shouldn't have some sort of short term plans. See, your unending optimism has effects. People who came here back in Oct, Nov, and Dec and read all the optimistic posts about how the government could never stop online gaming and that nothing was going to change got royally screwed. But instead of being apologetic about it, you're still pumping out the same lines. The real difference between you and I though is that the worst that might happen to someone who listens to what I say and follows my advice is that they might feel a little depressed about the future of the game.
