well, strategy is not such a negative word. We are human and we weigh the
options in order to yield the best results. This is a strategy. I was
drawing the comparison to television solely on the level of promotion - I'm
sure there is great love in what both of you do. And again, as human beings,
we sometimes do things that can and should be questioned precisely because
we might act not out of love, but instead out of lust for our careers. I
know I've done it before ; )
