I wasn't able to reply because for some odd reason, IE was having trouble reading this post since Coinilius's first comment. I just today decided to use Chrome instead, and read how many encouraging words were written since my last comment. Thanks for the thoughts. You never know, maybe one day I will get to my own edit.

In a sense, this leads to a different thought I've been having: I notice that different editors seem to have strengths in different areas, i.e. sound and/or music, visual/special effects, storyline and alterations, etc. It seems wise to me that a larger project should be started, where at least 3 skilled editors get together and focus on different aspects. In the beginning, some discussion would be necessary to give the project a direction in which all parties would agree. However, after initial agreement, a large measure of independence would be afforded to each editor in his area of specialty. He would of course provide frequent updates to the others who would critique and make suggestions, but ultimately he has the final say in his arena. In the end, a very impressive final product could be delivered, and with the input of more than one person, that product would more likely appeal to a larger audience. Any thoughts?
