Hi Branden,

I love using Flash and agree with all you say. But not all my output goes
to web, so it's not entirely relevant. Obviously, as I get more experience
with LM I'll find where it works and where it doesn't. My point is simply
to use a little ingenuity to develop your OWN production processes, and
keep your mind open as to what tools might help you out. What's flawed
about that theory?

>From what I can see right now, LM looks to be a nice addition to the
toolbox. Opinions will be formed and clarified through experience.
