Yes we did change to robot avatars on Stars since the word being spread by some 200 regs was that we were using a bot. Had we actually been doing so, it would have been pretty stupid to put on our avatars ‘I’m using a robot’, so it was obviously intended as a piss take.
Let’s say that it was not ‘out of line’ at all on your part to independently put a robot image on the article; but why did you do it? I just told you that when we did it was quite clearly a joke, what was your reason for putting up the robot image? Yellow journalism?
You have not put up the robot image on any other articles that you have written. So what were you trying to insinuate when you did it on the article about us? You must have known that we weren’t actually using a bot since Stars allowed what we were doing, yet for some reason there was a robot there anyway.

When we were in contact with stars over the months before, they said the reason using voice control was allowed is (as you stated) the player had to recognise the situation and choose the desired chart. Stars (unlike many other people) could see that using voice control is completely equivalent to clicking on a tab with your mouse.
Using voice control does not mean it is automatic. If it was automatic, the chart would be pulled up…wait for it…automatically! No human would be needed to do anything at all. You could just open Stars and ‘turn on’ Skier’s programme and the charts would just change by themselves. This was not the case.
Your automatic lock opener may be called what it is, but it is not technically automatic. If it were, it would just lock/ unlock the car as and when was needed; you wouldn’t have to click a button.
Also with an automatic lock opener there is only 1 option to choose (pressing the button). You could easily teach a 2 year old child to do it for you. For us, we had many different options (hand and stack size) to choose from and then we had to follow the charts correctly. A 2 year old child could not do that.
Sure it may be easy for a poker player to recognise the situation and give out a voice command, but is just as easy for them to recognise the situation and click on a tab. Voice is just more efficient.

-I used to play $100s and had results (vs fish) much better than most at the time.
-I had quit playing HU properly a while before anyone had the chance to be ‘in’ anything.
-In fact, it was through battling 200s and playing vs skier that I first learned of his existence, and later contacted him.
You can even check all that with a member of the $200 division who no doubt informed you of the situation.

The ‘community’ being other HU hyper regs I assume? I’m shocked that people in direct competition to us didn't like what we were doing.
I understand where they were coming from. If i wasn’t working with Skier, I wouldn’t like it either. But that doesn’t make it “unfair use”.
