There are a few points in the story that have lead me to believe that Mr. Poe is a member of VFD.
-All of the Guardians Poe has sent the Baulderlaires to have been members of VFD
Coicendence I think not
-Mr. Poe just happened to be at Hoter Duemont on the same day as the VFD meeting. I don't think that was a coincedence
-Poe just happened to be at Briny Beach when the Baulderlaires arived there in book 11. No Coincedence
I'm sure there are many more. But if he is a memeber of VFD.....what side of the schism is he on>

If he is a member of V.F.D., I think he must be one of those people like Madame Lulu, who aren't bad, but they are too silly/weak-willed to be considered good. He has the characteristic single enormous personality flaw of the silly/weak-willed characters (in this case, leaving everything to the authorities instead of making choices himself, and also believing all the wrong things, such as the stories about the Baudelaires and the variously-disguised Count Olaf). So if he was once a member of V.F.D., which is very possible, I don't think it will have too much effect on the events, unless, of course, he has some sort of missing file stored in his top hat or something like that.

As for your third point, Mr. Poe was at Briny Beach in order to inform them about their parents, someone had to after all and he was in charge of them for the time being.

I think that Mr. Poe is just amazingly unhelpful. During a conversation in the twelveth book, Olaf says that Poe isn't on anyone's side but might as well be on his because of how much his messing around has ruined the Baudelaire's lives. Or something to that effect.

Mr. Poe can't be a VFD member. When the Quagmires were kidnapped and the Bauldelaires first heard the initials VFD and tried to explain it to Mr. Poe, he didn't recognize them.

I think that the reason Mr. Poe is familiar with so many VFD members is because he runs the bank. The bank is the place where all the fortunes are held, and Mr. Poe has at least some control over them. This would make people like Count Olaf want to get to know him so they could take advantage of his job and become rich. This would make organizations like VFD also want to befriend Mr. Poe, so they could prevent villians from influencing him.

The Village of Fowl Devotees were at the Hotel. So I would assume they VFD, whatever side that may be. As for sending the kids to VFD members, could there maybe be something in the Baudelaire's will? Or perhaps it's a "we take care of our own" situation. As for Mr. Poe being at the hotel, [spoiler?] He seemed to be very concerned about the bank robbery, and probably tracked it to the hotel. I think Mr. Bass (wig lady, yes?) stole the money bags...but what's in them? I'm taking a stab at the Baudelaire fortune. But that'd be sad!! ;_; Also for the school...if you look back at some of the actions and have also read the Unauthorized Autobiography...I think the school has something to do with VFD. You'll recall members also being at the Hotel. But also they would carry kids out by their ankles...VFD selection remember? Also someone named K worked there before the current teachers...Kit?

I don't recall him seeming to know any of the gaurdians, or them seeming to know him.

Perhaps he's just someone who pretends to not know anything but really does. He knows the Baudelaires parents and controls their fortune. He must know something about it.

yeah, after i read the extra stuff in the rare version of the bad beginning i figured mr. poe HAD to be apart of it, cause i couldn't think of anyone else who would be hiding a camera under their hat. It seems like mr. poe could've been apart of it when he was much younger, but has been repressing memories of the schism question

Yeah for the first piece of evidence I always figured the Baudelaire parents gave a list of good guardians - who were all in VFD - in their will. Or maybe Poe knew who they were friends with.

Yeah for the first piece of evidence I always figured the Baudelaire parents gave a list of good guardians - who were all in VFD - in their will. Or maybe Poe knew who they were friends with. ?? Count Olaf is a good guardian?? Anyway, I think I remember Count Olaf saying that he sent invitations to everyone who looked after the Baudelaires so that they would come to the hotel and he could use the medusoid Mycelium. "Mr. Remora, Mrs. Bass, and Nero could know about V.F.D. and Mrs. K, (who was Kit Snicket in disguise) was at the school, and recruited two children at the same school." "Village of Fowl Devotees? Could hold V.F.D. secrets. One of the few books in the library is the Littlest Elf by Loney M. Setnick, which is an anagram of Lemony Snicket, and it could be a library of V.F.D.'s coded books. Crows were mentioned in relation to V.F.D. at several points (as carrier crows), the village could be more than meets the eye. Hector lived there, and he is likely a volunteer." Stated at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V.F.D. (this website has lots of information on V.F.D and everything to do with the book!)
