Sorry guys, have been having a little quick trigger finger here lately.
Here is info and a link, for those interested!

This stinks for several reasons, the most important being that it makes my
tackle choices even more limited! (I know, it's not all about me)

Galyans, Dick's Announce Merger
Officials announced Wednesday that the battle between two major sporting
goods stores has ended with a merger agreement.

Man, what a bummer...

That's interesting. Here in Rochester, NY, we have three Dick's and one
Galyan's, which is within spitting distance of one of the Dick's. Dick's
came here about 15 years ago, and within a year or two, they cut back on the
tackle department. Galyan's was a breath of fresh air when they arrived two
years ago, as their tackle dept. is vastly superior to Dick's. It will be
interesting to see how this plays out. Thanks for letting us know about
this.

Maybe this is a technicality, but it appears to be an acquisition, not a
merger, with Dick's buying Galyan's stock.
