Party Coming Out Against Poker Tracker?

I found this post in the Poker Tracker Hold'em Support forum under the message subject "I'm a Freakin Idiot":

It looks like a guy was concerned whether Party was worried about the use of Poker Tracker and this was their response:

I am not the guy who asked the question, I just think this e-mail is interesting given all the discussion about data mining recently.

Cheers,
