I'll give them a run though.  There's shouldn't be any left overs from 
other titles, since I use a file called "title_template.psd" that has a 
single text layer in it with all the options to make it look like it 
does.  I just change the text and resave it as needed.  I'm honestly not 
all that thrilled with the title text so I may give it some major love 
soon.  They look great on my monitor, but not so much on TV.

Though doing those led me to the technique I uses for the box lines so 
they were useful in that respect.
