As requested previously, delete the word "generally" under (ii) in the first full paragraph on page 2 of exhibit 8.1 and under (ii) in the last paragraph on page 1 of exhibit 8.2. Also delete the word "generally" in the second bullet point and under "Dissenting Stockholders" on page 46 of the proxy statement/prospectus. Alternatively, describe the basis for any uncertainty of the United States federal income tax consequences for VirtGame`s stockholders. Closing File an amendment to the S-4 in response to the comments. To expedite our review, Progressive may wish to provide us three marked courtesy copies of the amendment. Include with the filing any supplemental information requested and a cover letter tagged as correspondence that keys the responses to the comments. If Progressive thinks that compliance with any of the comments is inappropriate, provide the basis in the letter. We may have additional comments after review of the amendment, the responses to the comments, and any supplemental information. We urge all persons responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the registration statement reviewed by us to ensure that they have provided all information investors require for an informed decision. Since Progressive and its management are in possession of all facts relating to the disclosure in the registration statement, they are responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures that they have made. If Progressive requests acceleration of the registration statement`s effectiveness, Progressive should furnish a letter at the time of the request, acknowledging that: * Should the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority declare the registration statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action on the filing. * The action of the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority in declaring the registration statement effective does not relieve Progressive from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the registration statement`s disclosures. * Progressive may not assert our comments or the declaration of the registration statement`s effectiveness as a defense in any proceedings initiated by the Commission or any person under the United States` federal securities laws. The Commission`s Division of Enforcement has access to all information that Progressive provides us in our review of the registration statement or in response to our comments on the registration statement. We will consider a written request for acceleration of the registration statement`s effectiveness under Rule 461 of Regulation C under the Securities Act as confirmation that those requesting acceleration are aware of their responsibilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the registration statement. We will act on the request and by delegated authority grant acceleration of the registration statement`s effectiveness.
