The exact
language of H.R. 3125 states: "it shall be unlawful for a person engaged in
a gambling business knowingly to use the Internet or any other interactive
computer service -- (a) to place, receive, or otherwise make a bet or
wager; or (b) to send, receive, or invite information assisting in the
placing of a bet or wager." Section (b)(1).

Default Wow...

I'm deleting poker software off my desktop as we speak.

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea.

I hope I can someday repay you.
