What?!?! CBC made a mistake I'm shocked. Yes, CBC 'wisely' thought they were negotiating in a vacuum for an asset they built with our hard earned money. Surely it was totally unforeseeable that CTV (owning TSN) would have wanted to pick it up, given the 'very secretive' move by TSN to lock up a 6 year deal with the NHL to carry a significant number of NHL games, particularly with at least 1 Canadian team for each of their Wednesday night games. Absolutely shocking. Don't get me wrong, it's not the end of the world for HNIC, but it was a dumb move and the rights to the song should have been negotiated and locked up with the rights holder a long time ago so as not to get in this predicament. Enough said. So how about them Azzurri? Cheers, Mark

As well, if it's a "$25.00 handling fee", why is it, as they say, "per rod section"? Shouldn't a second rod section be less or zero? Unless it's really just a replacement section cost and then, just call it that. Just my 2c. Cheers, Mark

So, let me get this straight. People are free to have children and screw them up in anyway they want without any manner of education or license required but, if you want to fish - clearly an undertaking of much greater importance - you need not only to take a course and seek a license, but need to kill any fish you catch so as not to contaminate their environment and not to cruelly let them live after having been hooked. Hmmm ... Glad there are such great thinkers out there in government doing this big thinking for us, or at least at this stage for the Swiss. Cheers, Mark

If you do have to make a backcast, to open the loop, try dropping the rod tip a bit. This should help to keep the loop open when the road loads. Cheers, Mark
