Jen R: I've always assumed creating a TBAY is equal to "Originating" 
a theory, becoming an author of a theory. That's what I meant by 
unilaterally, in the case that all the people on the thread don't 
work off-list together to author the TBAY. But maybe my assumption 
is off-base, and most people see TBAY as just a different style 
rather than "claiming" a theory?

Jen, still trying to understand this elusive TBAY thing..
