Sorry, I posted it to let others know since this is such a slow forum. I see now it was a bad idea. It is however important for all to see what is going on. I could have done that in a better way.

I am more concerned that Absolute Poker is allowing Poker Tracker (Poker Grabber), what I consider to be poker "cheating programs" to have access to the hand history's at AP.

I've never heard of Poker Grabber and can't find anything about it on Yahoo or Google. Poker Tracker is a software that tracks hands from hand histories you receive from hands you have played or watched. The following sites knowingly allow Poker Tracker to be used on their site. It is far from a cheating software.
Absolute Poker, Party Poker, Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet, Full Tilt Poker, Pacific Poker, CryptoLogic Network, iPoker Network, Prima Network, Ladbrokes, Everest Poker, B2B Network, Ongame, World Poker Exchange, Bodog and Betfair. These sites all have designed hand histories to be compatible with many tracking programs. I don't like it either but it is far from cheating. Poker Tracker alsio helps protect players against cheats and when situations like this come up cheating can be obvious and cheaters can be punished. Without Poker Tracker this cheating could have gone on forever.
Lots0, you seem very resentful that I would pass on info about the biggest story in online poker this year (and w/o the UIGEA the biggest story in 5 years) to the community. I'm confused as to why. You even go so far as go to other Absolute threads and call out a poster that had his account locked and even came back to say all was resolved. Why?

Maybe the reason it is spreading is there are is at least one person that has decided to spread this rumor everywhere online gamblers hang out.

This is obviously far from a rumor.

There were some on this board that acted like AP was ignoring these accusations. Most of us knew that was not true.

Oh? Why was a cheating account chip dumping 4 days after this story broke? Why did AP ignore emails both before and after the story broke? How can AP say nothing odd has been seen when many players have emailed hh's from an obvious chip dumping session?
Like I said if you choose to decide the screenshots and hand histories are fake that is your choice. I've posted several times this year why IMO Absolute Poker is a shady poker room. I guess this is why this was not surprising to me at all and I have had little faith about their involvement and whether they were involved or if they will even do anything about it in the end.
