JM, you mean you think it might be wrong to tax cigarettes at nearly 300% in some areas? Didn't we split from England for less than that? The worst part is the government allows the tobacco companies to be sued, and then makes more money from cigarettes than the tobacco companies themselves. I surprised no one has successfully sued the government for damages from smoking, they have made more money than anyone from the tobacco industry.

Thanks for your reply on the T-W situation. It doesn't really sound that great, though - qbid can't broadcast through anyone else, but T-W doesn't have to carry the signal unless they deem there is enough interest. Am I reading that right? I still think the interest may be there, but it would be nice to have the full support of a major player like that
