what do you think about going to the media? I'm willing to go along with other people on either tactic.

We need a one page 'here's how to explain it to a five year old' without confusing poker terms. Pokeraddict is on the right track but it needs to be a lot dumber. From the articles I've read so far, it has been misinterpreted as 'THIS GUY MADE A CALL WITH 10 HIGH ZOMG RIGGED' and the pokertracker data which is fundamentally the most important piece of evidence is ignored, undoubtedly because it is hard to explain. It also has to be very explicit that this is an AP problem ONLY and not a 'zomg the sky is falling on internet poker' issue, because if it turns into that we are royally [censored].

I see this in my work with media all the time...they take the easy part of the story and miss the important part unless you spell it out so a five-year old who doesn't play poker can understand. No [censored], no conspiracy theories, only what we know so far.

I might have time to write something this weekend.
