I'd like to mention two things. This is in reply to several different posts throughout the thread.
First, I was wrong to insult Daniel. Whatever my feelings, I should have kept the negative comments to myself. They don't help me or the cause we are fighting in this lawsuit, and they might have been hurtful to Daniel. For that I am sorry, and I do apologize.
Second, many people make the comment that if players don't like the WPT release, they can simply choose not to play. That is true. However, what if you wish to play in an open-to-the-public big-buyin televised tournament? Other than the WPT, where can you do this? The WSOP, of course; as well as the U.S. Poker Championships at the Taj. So, for a month and a half in Vegas you can play the WSOP, and then with the Circuit events and the Taj that's another half dozen events per year. What else?
I know of no other options within the U.S. Events like the NBC Heads-up Championship and Poker SuperStars Invitational don't count, because they are not open to the public.
So, if you have other events you think meet the above definition, let us know. I'm pretty sure there are none at the present.
Thanks, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

I have an idea.....he and the un-holy 7 can pool their wealth and start another poker tour to compete with the WPT. Maybe the WE Channel or LIFETIME will give them a TV deal. I am sure that there are a number of properties that would hook them up and they can do the release any way they want. They can then set up their release any friggin way they want to.
I wonder if Greg's apology has anything to do with pokerstars (his web affiliation) and perhaps some of their members maybe jumping ship. Nah..Greg wouldn.t bow to corporate pressure...that would make him stupid or a sock puppet to pokerstars......
