Response from FullTilt regarding OPR situation

After berating us for not using our registered email account (hey, we don't need any sort of retaliation from our favorite site - but sometimes they screw up) we got an answer to our email. It provides some hope - as we understand it, PokerStars wanted something changed a while back and they came to an agreement with OPR tweaking their site and putting info back up. That appears to be what FullTilt is also looking to do.

The email (relevant parts) appears below and is signed by "Gearoid, Poker Specialist" (hey, didn't I spank that guy at the final table of Mini FTOPs #4 - I don't know, cuz they've banned OPR from letting me see my data.....). Do the right thing FullTilt and work with OPR so they can continue " provid(ing) a great service to (their) customers."
