Ouchez,

Great to hear you are concerned about security. One of my good friends in this 'profession' is a security specialist, and has advised me on several occasions about current trends in his field. I am very conscious about discretion and detail, and only yesterday requested a poster take down his post on another site. Spies are everywhere, but especially on free pages. Stanford Wong has recently extrapolated the outcome of having 1000 members who are 99.9% certain not be casino spies. The odds are only 37% that the site will be spy-free.

I don't think you will find any cats still in the bag near your polar regions. Some former red chip midwest posters who shall remain nameless have already shared way too much information over the past year.

When I suggested you ask C about his motivation, this was not a rhetorical response. I wouldn't mind hearing it, although it is not of great importance to me personally. Ask him yourself, and we shall all read his response. I would never put him on the spot like that, but I lack your motivation.

On another topic.... discard trays. No big deal for unbalanced counts. Irritating but not a show-stopper for balanced counts. And as another poster has said...these devices tend to lull the casino into a sense of false security. I have seen such evidence already. False security is a topic you may know something about.....

Hey, I'll give your best to Michigander this weekend. Maybe he can email you a map so you can find your way from the polar regions to the greatest of the Great Lakes.

All the best,
scobee
