Rick:
I know all the cliches about dumb producers (and there are lots of them)
but if an editor told me as a director/writer that I couldn't be in the
edit room when I wanted to be *he* wouldn't get the job, nor would he
get the job from folks like Scorcese, Coppola, Spielberg, et al. Glad
to hear that all is working fine, with or without your shirt.
