Robert,

My intention was not to throw cold water on your demo, nor imply that I 
could do better. I'm sorry if that's the way it came across. My 
recollection of your earlier version was that it offered, in some ways, a 
more avian behavior. I may be wrong about that, but I offered the 
observation in case it might inspire you to even more Hitchcockian 
movies. No slight intended. I would have held your hand (for emotional 
support) while telling you, but I was too busy swatting skeeters. :)
