OK, maybe I did miss the point of the thread in question, I bow to Mr.
Tylers far greater knowledge of the persons and processes involved.
However I am not talking about "Toy Story" or "Jurassic Park". Just a three
second clip, on a twenty or thirtieth ranked show on a secondary affiliate
of a third rate network. I don't know how well the analogy holds, but often
a proffessional carpenter will find a quaint little hammer a far more
effective solution to a particular problem than his expensive, and
complicated pneumatic nailer
