Thread: PPA Joins Legal Fight Against Online Poker Freeze

This is welcome news. The PPA has quite a few friends down under here in Australia also. I'll put my hand up to be an unofficial friend of the court. If CAP starts a Friends of CAP section, I'll be a friend of that also. All the friend and friends references might be an indication of the popularity of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.com ... friend.
