Default Good Message to Give the Fish Before They Leave

I figure we have only a couple days left to get our word out to the fish... While the dust settles surrounding online poker's future, i would like to proactively maintain a bit of my food...

Players in all of my games are talking about the impending closure of Party Poker. I've been telling them that i'm not concerned since i can always use a hand written check to deposit, the legislation doesn't make what we're doing illegal, and i'm switching my accounts and funds over to Poker Stars and Absolute.

Do you think this is a good, brief and effective explanation to those that might listen?

What would you add or reword?

If we find a useful message, shouldn't we mention it during the chat of our games, 5-10x per game, to ensure that as many people hear us as possible?

"So long and thanks for all the chips!"

Seriously though, send em to Absolute, Stars is a more likely candidate to disappoint them and we will certainly lose players for good with every closing site.

At every table you sit at, when you are ready to leave, type "I just heard on CNBC that Party might be filing for bankruptcy".

Play a couple more hands and then type, "[censored], I JUST TRIED TO MAKE A WITHDRAWAL AND MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN FROZEN! GET OUT IF YOU STILL CAN!"
