    I hope everyone will take the time to read some of the comments. Banks, politicians, poker players, and others have really stepped up here.

    I know sometimes it seems like Congress doesn't read your letters. I can assure you that they do. Not only that, our letters and phone calls bolster what they hear from industry, so let's all get behind this!

    So, I'm not the only one who was amused by that comment?

    When I last read there were only 4 pages of comments and now there are close to 7, it has increased significantly over the past few days. I will enjoy a cup of coffee over the new comments tomorrow morning I think.

    Amusing read from Mr. Chad Hill, of Foes of Fun.

    1. He recommends an OFAC style list for gambling. I work for a financial institution and this would be a complete nightmare. OFAC requirements are quite time consuming and very costly to adhere to.

    2. This comment was interesting, if the country was run by FOF, we would have "concerned citizens" making judgements about what is right or wrong.

    "Federal and state law enforcement entities, state gambling regulators, and even concerned citizens can identify and report Internet gambling operations that advertise and/or offer illegal gambling services to U.S. customers."
