Oh my word. I've so been there. Have you?  Thanks for the link, Hieu!

That was GREAT. A few weeks ago I dubbed a CD of 15 minutes worth of sounds like that and I was thinking, "how will I know which one to use". I realized it doesn't matter so much which ones I use, but what's more important is which ones NOT to use. This one will "work". This one definitely doesn't.

That's a really good point, Jeff. And it's funny too that in all likelihood, the audience will never notice any of your effects if you do your job right. Because the sound design should exist to lead the ear or eye to the content or message and set the appropriate mood. But if you ended up rolling with a woosh that didn't quite fit, it'll stand out like a sore thumb and end up detracting from what's on screen or being spoken.
