I find it interesting that, at one time on these boards (not too long ago), Daz had the "open" challenge to the "world" for $50K (or more), as long as the challenger came to play him in the UK. But as folks offered up Pinoys, Asians, et al., the "challenge" was later "clarified" (modified?) to only specifically be towards Americans.
And now he's coming here. Don't get me wrong, I "get it" that it might've been the backer that was doing the back-pedaling (the backer had the AZB screenname "dark something-or-other" if my memory is not failing), but I do find this whole development interesting...
