Hi Ashlar9,
The GPWA could be a very powerful and influential entity, but due to some managerial misguidance, this group has failed to be so.
I had a falling out with this group last April mainly because we had a conflict of philosophies when it comes to promoting online casinos. This was explained here in my newsletter which freaked a lot of people out. Especially some of the hardcore GPWAers.

Little do some people know...(I've told a few), that the "Gulf War II" was in full swing then, and I was freaking out a bit on my own, dealing with some personal issues (I'm a Gulf War I vet) and perhaps some of my PTSD was being vented out on the GPWA. But nevertheless, that's water under the bridge.
I defended myself here

And I made some observaces of the GPWA in Montreal here:

In a nutshell, this group could be highly effective if they could keep some of their more colorful members from posting on other people's message boards. It's pretty damn unprofessional. They also need to set up their business in a more legitimate manner for any one to take them seriously. Right now, they are under new management, so hopefully this is a sign that some productive changes are in the works.
