[ba-poker] Online poker Terms of Service

[Rodney Chen <rchen(deleted the rest)>]

I've read about Party's war with WinHoldem, and its use of pulling 
screenshots and scanning of process lists to detect it.  Has anyone been 
curious enough to determine the frequency of non poker information being 
sent to online poker servers?
