Will somebody please convince me that I am way too concerned about the possible ramifications of these types of posts? But I have to tell you that, in this political climate, I think we do ourselves a real disservice to be discussing these matters in a public forum.

For instance, consider the number and tenor of the recent articles and other reports in the media, and their consistent undercurrent about the harm of online gambling. Consider also the group of folks now occupying various Executive and Legislative branch offices and their consistent public statements about online gambling. And consider further the increasing reports of law enforcement action against poker games.

Keeping all of these things, among other similar things, in mind, and recognizing that the 2+2 forums are widely known and respected, isn't it possible, or likely, that someone in the media is watching the forum and picking up on these threads. And isn't it possible that at some point these threads about how we're avoiding reporting our winnings, or polls on the same, etc. might make it into the national media? And if it does, and if it's done in a big way, isn't it possible that it could be a nail in the coffin?

But then, maybe I'm over-reacting or overly cautious, or whatever. Then again, maybe not. But why take the chance.
