Yes, that's exactly what happened.

I sat down to watch the DVD set yesterday, having picked it up at the local
store, and went to the commentary.  I'd put that information at the very start
of my commentary.  

Now, understand: what I'd told WB was this....if you want me to do the
commentary, my requirement is that you let me tell what really happened.  If
you want to use the commentary, you have to leve that in.  If you don't want to
have that in, then don't use the commentary at all.  Everybody agreed.

So I started it up...listened...and it was gone.  

In its place is a segment taken from the on-camera interview.  

This was the one tape they didn't send me for approval, which being busy I
didn't track back, but I was always told there wasn't a problem.  At no time
did ANYONE from WB or New Wave Entertainment tell me that this was being done.

Doing these DVDs was the only way I had to date to get the bad taste of that
experience out of my mouth, the sheer dishonesty and rudeness of it all.

So much for that goal.

The term "furious" doesn't even begin to cover it.  I'm normally a very quiet,
soft spoken kind of guy.

But last night I broke the sound barrier and the dictionary all at the same
time.

Furious.

You have no idea.
