I really am glad you explained it to me. It makes perfect sense now. Could you hear me saying, "DUH" and smacking myself on the forehead with the palm of my hand? Now it is obvious. (You would not believe the number of times something can be right in front of me, completely obvious, and I miss it.)
So thanks again. That "trailer" thing has been bugging me since it started.

Chels & Boomer, be bugged no more! It bugged me too, so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_trailer), they're named trailers because originally the advertisements for upcoming movies were shown at the end of the featured movie. Since patrons tended to get up and leave before the trailers were finished, the trailers were moved to the beginning, but the name stuck. And there you have it. If it's on the internet, it must be true. lol
