ok, so this has been done to dust, but if any of you pencil-heads out there could please comment. Also, if this slant on the issue has been already covered apologies and please direct me to whereso.

http://www.sheldrake.org/homepage.html to Rupert Sheldrake and his theory about the collective "memory" of any complex, organising system.
Basically the theory is that anything that is a complex, organised group or entity will over time have a kind of "memory" of what it did and did not do, what actions it took and did not take etc (or what passively "happened" to it, as the case may be) and that this "memory" will be passed down and will modify future versions or actions or states of being of said same entity/group. The theory has been taken as far as to suggest that even the most fundamental physical laws of the universe may not be unchanging, but may modify or evolve over time, time itself being a factor of their experiemental or existential ordering and re-ordering.
A computer is a complex, organising system, indeed, much more so, in fact a kind of artificial "intelligence".
And playing poker on the internet, it is not like in a casino where a human dealer picks up 52 things made of paper and shuffles them each time and gives you and the other players each two and then deals three in the middle etc and when that is finished he/she does the same thing again, each new deal being completely unconnected or unrelated to the next, so there is no way one deal can influence the next one or any later ones, there is no connection between them or "memory" between them.
But on the internet a computer deals out thousands of "cards" every hour, and its central "brain" records and memorises each "card" it dealt out, to which player and whatever the result is. Over time could it not be so that this process of accumulating all those "memories" subtly changes the randomness of the whole process - in other words the computer is not dealing the cards on a completely unbiased mathematically random fashion as it was originally programmed for and as it would when first starting out, but over time it has been warped and changed in some undetectable fashion by its "memories" of dealing millions of hands out. Overall, the random number generator would perhaps still be in accord with the mathematical formula it was designed for if checked, but within the warp and whoof of its minute by minute dealing of "cards", in the very intercices of its second by second digital transfer of a players "cards" and "luck", it would perhaps operate, ever so subtly, outside the parameters of randomness, all dependent on the amount of hands and time a player has put into the site and his or her "style" and performance, all factors which would have effects on the computers "memory".
So the passionate divergence of opinion from in other matters equally sober and clear headed persons/players regarding the integrity of internet poker. The computer is out to get some and out to "help" others. And that is the reason why I am drowned in an ocean of bad luck every time I try and move up.
