Fair enough; I won't disagree the picture still isn't clear.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread, and we'll see where things go. Not knowing the owners of a site isn't unusual. Not having every question answered to everyone's satisfaction isn't unusual. Not saying you should or shouldn't be happy with that, of course - it's up to you to decide how you feel about it.
While threads like this are here for a site to be able to promote and inform about their business, they're also here for posters to be able to ask their questions and bring up concerns. And I don't think we'd allow a new poker site to advertise with us unless they agreed to have a thread as well, so any concerns can be seen by others considering doing business with them.

It's really not a good analogy for a lot of reasons, but just about the only part that compares is the way a lot of stakes happen - players are constantly selling pieces with no one knowing their real names. But the comparison really doesn't work on numerous levels anyway.

Well, I'd argue that's because you were being unclear, but I asked yu to explain and now it's been sorted out.

That, to me, is a lot different than "created a solution with a superuser back door hole", so thanks for the clarification.
As for the rest, I'm certainly no expert, so I'll let you continue that discussion with those more knowledgeable than I.
