I completely agree with uclabruin and bobneptune. Sweeping the cheating issue under the carpet (such as supposedly would occur if discussions were confined to forums such as this one) is absurd and will not insulate and reassure the "fishes". What a silly idea.

Failing to properly address cheating will not promote online poker. What actually is likely to happen is quite the opposite -- online sites such as PokerStars, acting entirely out of self interest, will begin to disclose enough about their security to reassure all of us (not just fishies), but not so much as to compromise their techniques.

Sites like Ultimate Bet, which appear to take cheating far less seriously, will continue to remain silent.
