Engineer,

While we all welcome your addition to the board, the MSPaint pic I posted in the other thread is on point. You will be a lone voice at a table full of affiliate farm and site reps. And one furthermore that doesn't risk the interests of the affiliate farms/CP mag ever being outvoted, since they added a friendly shill to the board in advance of your joining. The issue here is that real average joe poker players, whose interests the PPA *supposedly* serves, should have more such members as yourself who constitute a much greater part, and indeed even a majority of that board.

The bottom line and real issue is that the interests of affiliate farms dominate the PPA board and are determined to keep it that way.

You missed my point. I wrote:

Anyway, I didn't join the board to not have a voice. This is very simple...as long as I'm on the board, PPA will address the needs of the American poker-playing community, as I'll have no reason to be on the board if they do not.

I'm saying I'll leave the board if I feel PPA isn't serving the poker community. I'm not saying I'll huff and quit the first time I get outvoted, but I am saying they have to address the needs of the poker community for me to serve.

That shouldn't be a surprise...why else would I be there? My only goal is to advance online poker in America.

Anyway, these guys have come a long way in the past couple of months, and we have a big fight next year. I hope we'll all fight for our rights through Nov. 2008 and beyond.
