First off, sincerely, thanks for the response.

I interpret your response to mainly address Russ's cheating
allegations (hell, just as Doggy has correctly pointed out in another
thread, Russ has accused just about *everybody* of being a cheat --
BS, IMO -- so, I know he's got some right. The Linda Johnson stuff,
for example, is BS, IMO).

So, again, you appear to be saying that you believe most of what Russ
has stated regarding cheating is TRUE (or he believes his sources to
be true) and that's obviously fine if you believe that. (I'll also
interpret your response to mean you believe most of Russ's recountings
of the people he's met, places he's been, that kinda stuff, etc., and
I'll even stipulate to most of that being true.)

We'll part ways in that I'll state that Russ has clearly exaggerated
and tainted the poker world with one broad "cheating brush" and is
definitely guilty of wrongly accusing various people (which is
SERIOUS, btw) simply, oft times, on nothing more than imagination,
speculation and hearsay.

Ok, we'll agree to disagree there.

What I'm not sure of in your response (and please, don't feel like you
need to respond to this b/c obviously you don't, I'm just stating this
from my end)... what I'm not sure of is how much validity you give to
Russ regarding a WHOLE BUNCH of other things that he's posted since
he's shown up here (remember, I used the word TOTALITY): i.e. "boiler
rooms" making money hand over fist, Barry G. excuses, his online
successes, hell, even his recent Esko excuses and various other
things.

These are the kinds of things I think Russ is next to 100% BS...

But again, we'll just leave it where we are.
