     Are these kinds of "tricks" really necessary to get the desired results?
 I was always under the impression that if an Object was loaded with the
"Cast Shadow" button on, the flare would disappear when the Object passed
between the light and the camera (in effect, the object would be casting a
shadow on the camera and the light w/flare would not be visible).  Am I wrong
on this guys?
