	I, too, have found some of the editing of hard-X-rated films
for cable hilarious. Various techniques seem to be employed, including
the outright cut (cable showings of some of these films run under one
hour), alternate soft-x footage, and repeating softer footage in loops.
But my favorite is cropping; one sex epic I saw on cable had about 5
uninterrupted minutes of featureless pink on the screen, accompanied
by the usual moaning sound track. I couldn't even figure out what part
of the body this super-crop was displaying.
	Did you say they're no longer bothering to edit these things
in LA? They still do, here (Bay area). Ah, Sin City! I miss you!
