You are right, 20 years from now no one may even remember FT. You might mention to someone 20 years from now FT and they might look at you the way my kids do when I ask them to "roll up the car window."

FT may be the Compuserve, Netscape, or Prodigy of Internet poker. I have no idea how they'll compete with Google, Yahoo, or MGM, but they want the opportunity (beats a future Internet poker prohibition).

To suggest that FT or anyone else might use their position on the PPA to even think of possibly protecting their part of the pie and to be treated like a "on-line poker is rigged" poster is just wrong.

All I did was comment that you find conspiracies everywhere, then get bent out of shape and really offended when no one goes along with them. You seem to think people reject your ideas not because they're half-baked, but because there is some conspiracy against people hearing your "knowledge". I guarantee you FT and PS are not trying to keep PPA from sharing your ideas about banks with the world.

Anyway, there is no conspiracy. FoF and the NFL, along with support from Harrah's, got UIGEA passed. PPA is working to get poker explicitly legalized without special regard for FT or PS. John Pappas is not controlled by FT or PS. John isn't even "controlled" by the PPA board. And he doesn't ask us for permission for every little thing he does...he runs the show. We can fire him or restrict funds, but we certainly don't call daily meetings to micromanage his day-to-day activities.

Feel free to post your theories to the contrary, but don't be surprised when others disagree. And, do continue to post ideas of what you think is good for us but is bad for FT and PS. I've read your posts and I don't think you've done that yet, or at least not effectively.
