PokerStars: Allow Datamining

Now, you can't get too much of an advantage from this, because it will only tell you how someone was playing a year ago -- not how they play today.

At the same time, you can use it to catch cheaters -- though there will be an unfortunate 1-year delay.

And this is what makes it worthless.

Hands from a year ago aren't worth squat for profiling opponents.

Waiting a year to catch bots and cheaters is stupid. This means they have been successfully cheating and cashing out for a year. This means those cheated won't have their funds returned to them. Not to mention that the more sophisticated cheaters are likely to change screen names often enough to avoid detection.
