Bob,
The MS Web people were told about this, as well as half of what was written
in the segment synopsis ended up on the edit room floor.  We taped 25
minutes with 20 shells discussed.  They had to decide on which ones would
best illustrate the spectacular nature of this hobby.  Oh well.  They did a
fine job none-the-less.
