Agree, I think a good few high profile names probably stepped away from online poker as a result of knowing this was in the community already.

The difference is that it shows people how easy it all is and I think you are going to see a sea of people joining the games with this setup. Getting the software and the database still felt a relatively unattainable thing for many and probably kept in close nit group. If you look hard enough that is no longer the case.
