If it's not on the page it doesn't matter what's in the writer's head, and arguing a point until the cows come home doesn't make the script better. <br /><br />I tend to think of it that as the writer, my contribution to the session is the pages I brought, now it's time to sit back and let everyone else make theirsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
